Paul, down below, gives good advice. We put in a geo-thermal unit five years ago. My idea was to lay loops in the bottom of our farm pond that is not very far from the house. The dug pond is about 100 feet wide and about 250 feet long and varies from 3 feet to 20 feet deep on the far end. I had it dug for fill dirt and had big ideas of raising fish, because I like to eat them! Well, that didn't work, so use it for geo-thermal heating and cooling of the house.
Yah right! I don't know where you live, but we're in SE SD. My contractor calculated the cubic feet of water in that pond and determined that in winter, it would turn my pond into solid ice considering that ice on the top would probably be a foot thick. My pond isn't NEAR large enough to work, so we put down four vertical loops 180' deep. That works. Depending on your location, your idea probably just won't work. Maybe for a few days like Paul says. Sorry! I'm speaking from my experience. Electricity to run the compressor in January (considered the fuel) was $73.14 for February it was $80.56. Last July for air conditioning the compressor took $6.15.
