Have used ground source geothermal for the past 13 years in central Minnesota and highly recommend it. My house is well insulated and I had a 4.5 year pay back on the geothermal system when compared to propane which is my only other viable option. My total energy annual costs for heating and AC has averaged about $450 (~$40 a month on a 4800sq foot home) until last year when I hit the $500 mark, but it was an unusual year.
I have my geothermal system metered and billed separately to keep track of costs. The system has been very reliable and maintenance free. I do recommend that you get a good HVAC contractor that will correctly size the system based on your home heat loss. My local power company did a heat loss calculation for free and it matched the numbers provided by my HVAC contractor.
Costs have gone up since I installed my system and payback may not be as quick, but I would have your power company work with you on projected payback. In my case, if electrical rates were to double I would still be more cost effective then gas. Good Luck

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
