Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has created a new company to experiment with ‘moonshots’ which will provide geothermal systems that will steadily lower the energy costs of heating and cooling homes. The new initiative is essential to many residents especially during both winter and summer times.

The new firm known as the Dandelion focuses on the Earth itself. The programs work by absorbing heat through the use of plastic pipes distributed underground to bring the necessary heat into the households during winter. In summer, the pipes suck in the warm air from the household and transfer the heat down in the ground thus cooling the environment in residential home areas.

Normally, the pipes require significant drilling that takes more time and resources to accomplish. But the new system, which has gone through several months of testing, has a unique layout that drills faster with fewer resources needed. The process can take several days to be completed. Interested residents can obtain a prior assessment plan from the company that would outline the charges and the particular services needed.

Though the technique is limited to a few areas in the region, the agency confirmed that it’s possible to fix it in almost any place. The geothermal heat-pump systems can pay for themselves between two to ten years due to minimal utility payments and based on other factors including weather conditions, soil type, the features required, finances and incentives, and much more.

The moonshot projects were initially not part of Google’s key business. The idea came from the parent company and it has its own management team. The projects are intended to provide smarter homes by developing automated robots that can perform alongside human inputs. Google will still oversee the moonshot projects.

Other services to be provided by moonshot are Google Fiber that offers high-speed internet connections to power over 150 television channels, smart home technologies, and flying drones to deliver mail to households.
