Bullman Heating & Air receives the 2010 Prestige $500,000 Sales Club award from WaterFurnace International

 

Asheville, NC, March 8, 2011 – Bullman Heating & Air Inc. received the Prestige 2010 Sales Club $500,000 award from WaterFurnace International, a leading manufacturer of residential, commercial, industrial and institutional geothermal and water source heat pumps.

 

Presenting the awards were WaterFurnace CEO Tom Huntington, Tate Rust Territory Sales Manager and Chairman of the Board Tim Shields during WaterFurnace’s annual national sales meeting, held March 7-8 in Indianapolis, Ind.

 

“We are delighted to receive this award, which is a testament to the hard work of our employees and their commitment to the comfort of our customers,” said   Bullman Heating & Air Inc.  “Even as the national economy has struggled, it is exciting to watch our geothermal sales continue to grow, and we appreciate the fact that WaterFurnace recognizes our efforts and our achievements.”

 

Bullman Heating & Air began selling WaterFurnace geothermal products over 11 years ago and has watched that portion of their business grow as interest in geothermal energy has increased. Geothermal systems tap the free, completely renewable, unlimited supply of solar energy stored just a few feet below the Earth’s surface and use that energy to drive heating and cooling systems in both residential and commercial buildings.

 

Homeowners who install a geothermal system before Dec. 31, 2016, can take advantage of a federal renewable energy tax credit of 30 percent of the total investment of the system. In addition, Residents of NC are eligible for a 35% tax incentive with a cap of $8400.  Those two available credits combined makes geothermal affordable to most homeowners.

 

In addition to federal, state and utility tax incentives that enhance the affordability of geothermal systems, this cost-effective, environmentally friendly technology offers a host of benefits that includes:

·         Free renewable supply of energy

·         Efficiency ratings up to five times higher than those of ordinary heating and cooling systems

·         Savings on utility bills up to 70 percent

·         Reduced carbon footprint, since the system burns no fossil fuels

·         Even distribution of heating and cooling for improved comfort

·         Improved indoor air quality

·         Quiet operation with no noisy outdoor units to disturb the environment or neighbors

·         Safe operation that requires no open flame or fuel storage tanks

·         Little to no maintenance required

·         Increased system longevity (an average life span of 24 years vs.15 for conventional air conditioners and 20 years for fossil fuel furnaces)
