Dandelion Energy has opened a new facility in Windsor allowing it to provide geothermal heating and cooling solutions across the state.
The company held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour Monday at its new Connecticut headquarters at 460 Hayden Station Road.
In early 2022, New York City-based Dandelion Energy acquired Glacier Drilling, a Durham-based company that offered drilling and related services in the state for 26 years.
Nearly 20,000 Connecticut homeowners entered their information into Dandelion’s online portal, the company said Friday. Eighty Connecticut homeowners had already installed a Dandelion system. Another 300 signed a contract with Dandelion to have a geothermal system heating and cooling system installed in their home.
Geothermal units provide efficient heating and air conditioning, aimed at helping Connecticut achieve its goal of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Dandelion will have multiple heat pump installation crews working out of its Windsor facility by the end of 2022, the company said.Â
The ribbon-cutting, set for 10:30 a.m., was open to the public. Dandelion is expected to create 25 jobs by the end of the year. The company declined to say how much it invested in the project.
