oh I was under the impression you only wanted to cool your tank water... sorry didn't realize you wanted to do the whole house. you can use exzisting ducting with them (I have been looking at going to central air myself.) the only difference between a normal central air and geothermal is the part outside the house. depending on how they do the GEO part (dripping well holes and running tube, burring lines, or running them into a lake, the price can be very different.
