Default Ground-coupled heat exchanger

There is a lot of discussion on TOTV about putting solar panels on the roof, but does anyone have experience of using a ground-coupled heat exchanger?

To explain: "A ground-coupled heat exchanger is an underground heat exchanger that can capture heat from and/or dissipate heat to the ground using the Earth's near constant subterranean temperature to warm or cool air or other fluids for residential or industrial uses."

I should have thought that the relatively high water table in TV would make the use of one quite efficient, saving a lot of electricity when heating/cooling one's home.

Thoughts?
