Yes, I did a lot of research into geothermal when I needed to replace a unit a few years back and there is no way I would have been able to recover the installation costs - even if I lived in the Northern most reaches of Canada instead of the mid Atlantic. Also it's very hard to find contractors skilled in installing the pipe correctly and far too many people had problems where they had to dig up portions of the loops for repairs. If I ever have the chance I will have radiant floor heating. Once you experience it you won't ever want any other kind of heat. The colder it is outside, the better it feels - it's the ultimate luxury IMNSHO.
