CGH Energy was founded in June 2009 by the company president, Jane Bugbee. We work with current homeowners, families building a home, contractors and architects to design and install geothermal heat pumps as a means of heating and cooling. Our focus is on sustainability, efficiency and quality in our product as well as providing the highest level of customer service.

Mission

Our mission is to provide affordable, sustainable, environmentally-friendly home heating and cooling options for Connecticut families. We offer optimized geothermal energy solutions, unique to each household, while providing unparalleled customer service. Our skilled employees use your individual situations to determine the most efficient and sustainable geothermal solution.

“Because we do not use cookie-cutter solutions or rules of thumb during our design process, our systems are inherently customized. We are proud of the high efficiencies our systems achieve as a result of this individualization.”
