О компании
- Energy is transforming how homes are heated and cooled—starting from (below) 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, more affordable, and up to 4× more efficient than traditional HVAC. Our focus is on large, enterprise deployments with major homebuilders, helping bring geothermal to more homes, faster.
- Backed by Google Ventures (GV) and other top tech investors, our end-to-end geothermal solution is challenging the status quo in residential heating and cooling. We’re scaling strategically and intentionally to meet growing demand. Our mission is simple and bold: to make geothermal the default choice for heating and cooling in the U.S.

- Geothermal is the most efficient way to heat and cool a home, but the upfront cost has kept it out of reach for most homebuilders and homebuyers. In 2025, launched a first-of-its-kind solution to that problem. Instead of the builder paying for the system, an investor partner buys it, claims the federal tax credit and other incentives, and leases the system to the homebuyer. Builders can offer geothermal without paying for it up front.
