I bought my 2400 sq ft house in 1997 and two years later had to replace the ground source closed loop system. Compressor went out and manufacturer no longer existed. Plus, no reputable heat/ac Co would touch it or find parts. Went with a Trane 14 EER air to air heat pump. I already had elec furnace back up so it cost about $2800 to add the heat pump. With closed loop, the contractor has to dig up your yard to install the closed loop. I am told my whole front yard was used to provide a proper closed loop. With air to air, the install is similar to a normal ac install. I live in NE Kansas where it can get pretty cold. What I found was that my heating is now more expensive than natural gas, and the ac is really cheap. The elec furnace back up really costs when the temps go below and stay at 20 degrees or colder. I think your temps probably barely go below 20 in worst winter, and you will get added advantage of improved ac thru a heat pump rather than straight ac. Kansas gets the old 100 degree July/Aug baking season, too. At least, that's my near-5 yr record, and I wouldn't change the decision. Also, I have a setback thermostat so we only heat up to 70 degrees about 10 hrs of the day since wife and I both work full time. I think that you would save even more compared to propane, because propane is much more expensive than natural gas around here.
