About Dandelion Energy Dandelion Energy is transforming how homes are heated and cooled—starting from the ground up. As the nation’s leading residential geothermal company, we design, install, and maintain all‑in‑one heating and cooling systems that are cleaner, quieter, and up to 4x more efficient than traditional HVAC, focusing on large, scaled deployments to large homebuilders. We’re an ambitious and growing team on a mission to revolutionize home heating.
Backed by Google Ventures and other top tech investors, our end‑to‑end geothermal solution is breaking the status quo of residential heating and cooling technology, and we’re scaling rapidly to meet demand. Whether we’re serving national homebuilders or individual homeowners, our mission is the same: to make geothermal the default choice for heating and cooling in the U.S.
