Geonova is your partner for energy-as-a-service solution

Geonova is a Finnish energy operator providing geothermal heating and other heat pump solutions as a service to companies, housing associations and the public sector.

We exist to help large properties to switch to renewable and emission-free energy as easily as possible - without any initial investment of their own.

We make the investment on behalf of the customer and take care of everything - design, installation, energy production and ongoing optimisation of the system. The customer gets all the benefits of geothermal heating for a monthly fee: reduced energy costs, energy independence, significant emission reductions and increased property value.

Clean energy is the future

Geothermal energy is solar energy stored in the bedrock. Solar energy is the only natural resource that will never run out. We believe that in the future, combustion-based energy production will be largely replaced by emission-free forms of energy such as heat pumps, solar energy and wind power. This is the change we at Geonova want to contribute to with our service.

Geonova's service is an excellent way to meet the increasingly stringent emission reduction and sustainability requirements. At the same time, you will be contributing to the green transition and working to ensure that future generations will also have the conditions for a good life on earth.

We have the strongest back-up teams on the market
