Kathy Hannun, president and cofounder of Dandelion Energy, introduces an untapped heating and cooling capacity source for homes — geothermal energy. Typically associated with high temperatures and geologically active areas such as hot springs or locations at the intersections of tectonic plates, geothermal heat pumps tap into the consistent year-round temperature of Earth’s outer crust to maintain a comfortable home […]

In the last several years, heat pumps have skyrocketed in popularity and are now a common HVAC solution, even in colder climates. Technology advances have made heat pumps an efficient heating source at temperatures as low as -15 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, Maine’s 2020 Climate Action Plan set a goal to have heat pumps in 45% of the housing stock […]
