We have a ground-source heat pump for our ADU. We did it because we were curious about just how efficient we could make the house, but I don't expect that it will ever break even financially vs a modern air-source system with resistive backup in our climate (northern New England, typically very few –20˚ nights, –10˚-0˚ more common with daytime highs in the single digits).

It works great, but it's hard to see a way to it making sense for most folks here.



You might still get the most out of it when the AMOC collapses.


I'm not aware that AMOC collapse is going to significantly alter New England's climate as it will Europe's.
