# Dandelion Energy

> Dandelion Energy is an Alphabet (Google X) spinout that designs, installs, and finances residential and multifamily geothermal heating and cooling systems. By drilling ground loops that tap the earth's stable temperature and pairing them with a proprietary heat pump, Dandelion replaces fossil-fuel furnaces and air conditioners with a single all-electric system that cuts home heating and cooling bills while eliminating on-site emissions.
