Uh you're thinking of a conventional air-source heat pump, which is just an A/C run in reverse to generate heat. A geothermal heat pump, which is being discussed here, has much higher efficiencies by taking advantage of ground temperature being relatively constant and burying pipework deep in the soil (sometimes a few hundred feet deep) and circulating the heat-transfer fluid through it. A geothermal heat pump, including installation, can range from $12,000 to $45,000 [1] [1] https://www.carrier.com/residential/en/us/products/geothermal-heat-pumps/cost-buying-geothermal-heat-pump/ https://www.carrier.com/residential/en/us/products/geotherma...
