Here is my 2 cents. I live just south of Washington D.C.. I finished a new house in 2014 for heat it has a geothermal unit which is a heat pump with one 250 foot well for every ton of capacity. As far as working it is fine down to about zero with the electric back-up coming on very seldom. However when shopping for I discovered that the Feds offer a discount for older homes that are converted to geothermal units. The contractors conveniently forget the conversion requirement and push these systems with the discount amount added to the price. In a new house a system should cost the amount of a forced air system plus about $1000 for each well. Remember it is for conversions only so be careful what you pay for. Another thing I am discovering this winter with the storms coming through. The high winds knock out the power which normally no big deal except these units have computers in them that are susceptible to power surges and that brings you heat down and MAY cost a whole control system. I just finished getting this fixed. The last storm took out the power for a while and the heat was down even after the power came back. Turned out to be a connector. A CONNECTOR--under designed and over driven couldn't handle a power surge. So now I have to get a whole surge protector. And my power bill is twice the bill in town. Be careful what you buy!
