Hi John, I bought a new heat/ac system a year ago last fall. Had been using a propane pulse furnace with central a/c (common air handler). Also put in a new true heat pump at my dad's place the same fall. I would suggest you really put a pencil to the cost of the ground coupled system. There is no way one would pencil for me. If I had it to do over I would have put a propane gas pack on the heat pump. Cost of the new heat/ac at my house (for 1800 square feet, installed) was $4000 with an 80% efficient pulse gas furnace. It gets a lot colder here than it does in LA, I struggle to use the 600 gallons of propane a year that the company requires for me to keep my tank free. Prepay propane is $1.29 per gallon this year. Electric bill runs $60 per month on the budget. Even if it cut my energy use in half that would be $800 a year savings. It would be at least 10 years to come out on the extra cost of the ground coupled system. Now at my folks place there electric is $200 per month on the budget (different electric company, too) would have been a lot closer on the ground coupled system. Still, I went with the simple system.
