The acquisition of Glacier Drilling furthers Dandelion's ability to provide homeowners across New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont with geothermal heating and cooling.

Led by Mark Schock, Glacier Drilling brings 26 years of drilling and related services to homeowners and commercial organisations. Offering a full range of environmental and geotechnical drilling solutions, Glacier Drilling's central Connecticut location facilitates mobilisation throughout the New England and New York region.

"We are excited to offer a growing number of homeowners the opportunity to have a geothermal system, the most sustainable heating and cooling solution you can buy," said Michael Sachse, CEO of Dandelion. "Glacier Drilling is an exceptional company and their work throughout the Northeast will help Dandelion mobilise more crews for more frequent installations. We've been impressed with the quality of their work and demonstrated focus on safety and are thrilled to have them supporting our expansion."

Glacier Drilling's Schock added: "Our experience with Dandelion has been incredibly positive so far. We're proud to be part of the movement towards cleaner energy and cleaner environments for our teams to work and our neighbours to live."

He then spoke of his own experience. "I put geothermal in my home five years ago I was tired of spending $4,000 per year on fuel oil and getting oil deliveries every 10 days. I did the drilling but hired contractors to install the ground source heat pump and other system elements. I love it - it works great and I'm not on fossil fuel anymore. My one challenge was that I had to be the general contractor for the job. Dandelion provides a one-stop-shop for homeowners to get and maintain a geothermal system in their homes. I could have used that!"
