we’re being technical, it’s actually called a boutique inn) ... Throughout

WSB-TV: Clark Howard Tells You How Going Green
Will Give You A Tax Credit
September 15th, 2008
Stonehurst Place on Piedmont Avenue
is the best of the old and the new. It was first built in 1896, but when it
reopens as a bed and breakfast it will have green technology to save energy and
money.
The solar panels on the roof will be
how the bed and breakfast will get its hot water.
"The glycol, which is a conduit,
carries hot fluid down here, transfers into cold water, which is then stored in
these tanks on a hot day. All this hot water generated from the sun will then be
used in the bed and breakfast," said contractor Orion Hanson.
On an overcast day, gas water
heaters will help boost the water to 120 degrees.
"The owner of Stonehurst Place was
ahead of her time – because she missed out on a tax credit you can grab for
yourself! It's called the Georgia Clean Energy Property Tax Credit. And if you
get solar hot water panels, you can get a 35 percent credit on your state income
tax," said Clark.
That's on top of the 30% federal tax
credit you can also get. And the people who put in the panels said it'll slash
your hot water bill.
"It can save about 75% per year
normally used for water heating," said Charles Cone with the Soenso Company.
The state is also giving credits to
people who buy windmills for their homes. The wind turbines generate electricity
and reduce the need for dirty coal-powered energy.
"Now, if you decide to do this, the
state tax credit is complicated," said Clark. "Get a tax professional to help
you before you spend the money on the system. But if you play your cards right,
you'll help the environment and your wallet at the same time."
