Dandelion Raises $30 Million Series B funding

Peekskill: Dandelion Energy, the nation’s leading home geothermal company, announced today the close of a $30 million Series B round of funding, bringing the company’s total funding to $65 million. The raise was led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures with participation from existing investors, including GV, NEA, Lennar Corporation, Collaborative Fund, Building Ventures, Catchlight Ventures, and GroundUp.

More than 70% of energy usages in homes comes from heating, cooling, and water heating. Installing a Dandelion Geothermal Heating & Cooling System can reduce a home’s carbon emissions by as much as 80%, all while eliminating the need to buy heating fuel. Dandelion’s innovative business model aligns federal, state, and utility incentives so that homeowners can upgrade to geothermal for less than they’re currently paying to heat and cool their home. This new investment enables the company to expand operations while continuing to invest in research and development which has made Dandelion the industry leader.

“Through a combination of technology, data, and operations, Dandelion is making geothermal heating and cooling cost-effective for the residential market, and working to solve a critical need for homeowners and our energy ecosystem,” said Carmichael Roberts, Breakthrough Energy Ventures. “Dandelion’s geothermal heat pumps provide an efficient electric heating and cooling system that lowers the cost of heating and cooling for homeowners, no matter their region or climate. We’re looking forward to working with Dandelion as they look to fully displace fossil fuels from the home’s heating and cooling systems.”

“Breakthrough Energy Ventures is the leading climate tech investor, and we could not be more thrilled to welcome them to Dandelion,” said Michael Sachse, Dandelion’s CEO. “We always knew that geothermal was the single best thing you can do for your home from a sustainability perspective. Dandelion has proven that geothermal is a cost-effective option for consumers that can be delivered at scale. Now we look forward to partnering with BEV and our existing investors to expand our reach, deepen our research and development, and bring sustainable heat to the millions of homes that need it.”
