Original Text

More and more homeowners are choosing geothermal over fuel-based options. I see this shift up close every day, because I cofounded a company to create a new kind of ground-up utility by making it as easy and inexpensive as possible to switch from conventional heating to geothermal. We've done this by creating a service where homeowners can fill out a form on our website, we design a geothermal heating system for them, and then we install that system using purpose-built tools and equipment. Once the installation is done, that home will have moved on from fossil heating forever, because those ground loops, they'll last as long as the home itself.
