In a recent episode of “Sustainability In Your Ear,” Kathy Hannun, president and co-founder of Dandelion Energy, discussed the potential of geothermal energy as an untapped heating and cooling source for homes. Geothermal heat pumps utilize the consistent year-round temperature of Earth’s outer crust to create a comfortable home environment, offering an efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional furnaces. Dandelion Energy is transforming the heating and cooling options available to homeowners in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The company’s system includes a heat pump inside the home and ground loops to transfer heat to or from the building, and it has formed partnerships with utilities in the Northeast to promote geothermal technology and reduce peak energy demands.
