Earlier this summer, a Silicon Valley startup called Dandelion was born out of Alphabet’s X Labs. Dandelion hoped to popularize an old and dusty, but energy-saving, technology—that is, ground-source heat pumps. On Thursday, the company released more details on how it plans to complete its first 2017 run.

Dandelion’s pitch to customers and investors was that it had developed new drilling equipment and techniques that would allow it to drill 400-foot-deep holes in a residential yard in a fraction of the time it would take for older ground-source heat pump companies to do the same. But, in August, the company had few details on the internal half of the system (that is, the half that actually operates within your house).

Today, Dandelion announced a partnership with a local ground-source heat company in upstate New York called Aztech. Together, they hope to iron out some of the more squirrely practical details on how a tech-sector startup will place complicated infrastructure in residential homes. The division of labor is as such: Dandelion will drill the holes in the ground, and Aztech will inspect the home and install the outdoor pipes to the home’s existing ductwork. The heat pump itself—a large cabinet made by a company called WaterFurnace—will provide heat and cooling during the winter and summer months.

Aztech is just the first company that Dandelion has agreed to partner with. In other regions, another local company might take its place. In each region the company expands to, "the indoor portion of the installation will be subcontracted to regional installers, decentralizing this function and helping regional companies grow their business," Dandelion said in a press release.

The startup's VP of marketing, Katie Ullmann, said Dandelion will install 25 to 30 systems throughout September and October in upstate New York. Each of the installations, she says, will take a couple of days to complete. Any other customers who signed up for a Dandelion system after the 25 to 30 initial installations will get their system after winter is over.

The Google-linked company is an interesting case not just because it's trying to make ground-source heat pumps cool again, but because the company’s executives have been vocal about how they’re trying to bring marketing lessons from other big tech companies to home upgrades. In an interview with Ars last month, the company's CTO, James Quazi, said that some of Dandelion’s staff previously worked for Solar City, and he hoped to mimic their success by selling ground-source heat systems in well-defined geographical areas where the economics make unambiguous sense. After that, the company would branch out to other areas.

Similarly, Dandelion seems to be taking a page out of Tesla’s book with how it’s installing its pipe system. Just as Tesla worked through a number of third-party installers to sell customers its Powerwall batteries, Dandelion seems to be deferring to companies with more experience when it comes to hooking its fancy new product up to a person’s home.
