Dandelion Energy

Dandelion is an American company which offers geothermal heating installation in upstate New York. Prior to 2017, it was part of Google X, before being spun out into an independent company. Dandelion targets providing geothermal heating and cooling (HVAC) on a competitive basis against, to start, existing oil furnaces. While geothermal HVAC has many advantages, penetration has been constrained over the years due to high-upfront capital costs. 
The system consists of a heat pump which pipes energy either to or from a house. Dandelion made headlines in February 2019 when it raised 16 million in its series A fundraising round. As a form of renewable technology with enormous potential, geothermal energy has been called "the next solar".
Dandelion's CEO, Kathy Hannun was named one of Fast Company's most creative people in 2018. A leader in the Green Tech industry, Hannun made headlines when she finished Dandelion's first round of fundraising the day before giving birth to her first child.
In June 2018, Dandelion began installation of the first sub-$20,000 geothermal heat pump, Dandelion Air. The product was designed in-house by the company, which is installed in the backyard of a residential property and is currently financed over a 20-year term.
In September of 2020 Dandelion announced its expansion to Connecticut.
