Does anybody have experience with residential geothermal heating? I know it's pricey right now, but it's something I like to think about when considering building vs. buying a home someday.

I have a buddy who is a sales guy for a company that sells geothermal systems. I do all of my own electrical/plumbing/HVAC work on my house, so with his discount on getting me the system I am only looking at about $8,000 for the system, with me doing all of the labor.

The big cost for me is the well drilling. When I did the calculations for heat loss/gain I determined that I need three 250 ft deep wells drilled. The cost for the three of them will be about $12,000.
