Consider closed cell spray foam and you will probably make out better with a traditional high efficiency system than you would with geothermal and regular insulation. If you went with geothermal and spray foam your heating and cooling/comfort costs would be less than someones Starbucks habit but I can understand the initial cost might not make sense for some folks.

I've got a looooot of solar panels, so the electricity is "effectively" free. This is good advice though, thanks!
