We want A/C in the summer (although we're tying to design/build the home so we won't need to use it much as usual). Along the same lines, I would love to go with geothermal + radiant, but we just couldn't swallow the costs... so we've had to retreat to a more traditional approach) Indeed – we looked into radiant heat, but it’s FAR too expensive when compared to forced air (at least in our situation… there are definitely cases where it’s cheaper).
