- EarthLinked Technologies, Inc.
EarthLinked Technologies, Inc. ("EarthLinked" or "ETI") is a privately held manufacturer of
direct exchange geothermal heat pump systems located inLakeland, Florida , USA. The company has been a pioneer in direct exchange geothermal technology, often called DX geothermal.EarthLinked was founded in 1980 by Hal Roberts and Bob Cochran. Following the energy crisis of the 1970s, Cochran had developed a technology to allow a heat pump to more efficiently use the constant temperature of the earth to heat and cool buildings. This produced a system that was far superior in efficiency while also longer-lasting and easier to maintain.
EarthLinked is now the leading manufacturer of DX geothermal systems in the United States.
In early 2008, EarthLinked moved into a new headquarters and manufacturing building,
LEED certification pending. The offices in the building are heated and cooled using EarthLinked technology.
