I recently learned that there are consumer grade heat pumps that can use geothermal by trenching a backyard or drilling some really deep wells. It didn't seem like the actual heat pumps were stupid expensive but of course the installation I have no idea how much something like that would cost. The install page I was reading said the trenches needed to be 6 feet deep and unknown how wide

The geothermal heat pump is different from what they’re talking about but it is for real. About 10 years ago the word was that the climate in Upstate NY was too cold for an air source heat pump but the air source heat pump was a great choice a little bit south. Recently air source heat pumps have improved and are recommended for New York and even Alaska.
