Thank you, Biker.
The system I am envisaging is one with pipework (shaped like that on the back of a refrigerator) buried just a few feet underground, where the soil temperature still remains almost constant throughout the year.
It may be that the lots aren't big enough to lay sufficient pipe, or maybe one would have to go deeper in Florida, but I am hoping someone has already done some research on this.
