When your contractor said he's going to make the house air tight thru & thru, watch out - you need some natural ventilation to fight the build up of Carbon dioxide naturally expelled by people in the home. if you reduce the natural vetilation that happens via doors & windows (shouldn't be excessive, but shouldn't be air tight) then you will have to have an outdoor air source ducted to your air conditioner, and when the a/c kicks on, a controlled amount of outdoor air is brought in directly to the unit so that the air is conditioned before being dispersed through the home.
On another note, my mother-in-law has a water source heat pump system via her well system for her 28-acre horse farm, and the temperature is always nice & she loves the low electric bill. However, she's located in the GA hills, not the lower land of FL, so that may make the difference.
