Description

Bedrock Energy provides electrified geothermal heating and cooling systems that enable large commercial, industrial, and multifamily buildings to transition away from fossil fuel-based HVAC.

Key Differentiators

- Drives down the cost, space, time, and risk of constructing geothermal systems by 3-5x - Makes geothermal increasingly accessible for buildings in space constrained urban environments. - Saves more than 50% compared to VRF and air source heat pumps

Use Cases

include geothermal in my electrification strategy, incorporate geothermal in my HVAC strategy

Cost Savings

Utility cost savings and O&M cost savings: ~50% compared to traditional air source heat pump and VRF systems.

Operational Emissions

Geothermal HVAC systems replace fossil-fuel-based heating with high-efficiency heat pumps. By reducing installation complexity and making geothermal viable in dense urban environments, Bedrock helps building owners acheive both direct emissions reductions and long-term electrification.

NY Contractor Availability

Bedrock provides turnkey project planning, including installation.

Other Screening Criteria

Bedrock's geothermal-as-a-service approach offers geothermal solutions without large upfront capital costs, the main barrier to adoption for most customers. Bedrock works with MEP engineering firms to determine the heating/cooling load size of the building or the process, as determined by the size, usage, schedule, climate, and other characteristics of the building or process.

Case Studies

Case studies

During Installation

One Bedrock crew can drill and construct approximately one 1000-foot borehole in a day with construction noise of ~60dB vs. ~70-85 dB for conventional drilling rigs. For context, a typical washing machine emits about 80 dB.

Post Installation

Resident impact post-installation

NY Incentives/Financing Resources

30-50% federal tax incentives, which are still available as of 2026.

Upfront Costs

While upfront construction costs vary by building/ customer, projects are priced using upfront costs of construction and for design-build models, time required to design and simulate the borefield will be incorporated. Equipment costs include: Heat Pump Ducting & Installation, Fluid Cooler, Controls Contracting, Casing, Drilling fluids, Grout, and Loop. Bedrock is targeting a pathway to <$20/ft geothermal heat-exchanger construction in New York City. Borehole construction costs represent $10-12k per HVAC ton.

Data + Performance

Bedrock monitors the system through installed sensors on surface pumps to track key indicators of system performance, such as entering and exiting water tempature, pressure, and flow rate.
