I also doubt the people seaking assistance have the means to pony-up for a new heating system.

It is now possible and viable to install such a system on a small lot- the well holes are slant drilled radially from one center point.
Roof made another good point, in ground systems work well in cold climates. For my Alaska place, that might be a good option- but I'd really like to have a hydronic floor, and I'm not sure how one would go about the heat exchange mechanism for doing so.
