once you get a price for that I bet you'll reconsider. An extra 10k goes a long way in paying for electricity. Also, if building a new home, build it to be efficient and conditioning will almost be a non-issue.

A common practice these days for new construction is to do the geothermal ground loops around the base of the foundation. It is super cheap to do it this way. It essentially just costs materials as the holes are already there when the foundations are formed.

Obviously this doesn't apply if you don't have a basement and just a slab home.
