What’s in a Name?
Making the World a Better Place

We often get asked, “Where did you get the name ‘Ducoterra’?  I’ve never heard of it.”   Well, when the company first started, our founder wanted a name that reflected the mission and values of his company.  He believed his company could help make the world a better place, changing the way people heat their homes by using high efficiency radiant infrared heating, which would reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. 

The name Ducoterra was created by combining the word “Duco“, derived from the Latin “Ducor” which means to lead or guide, and “Terra“, the earth.  So, the meaning is that Ducoterra will lead the world toward using infrared radiant heating
