Is the primary issue heating or cooling? It makes a difference as you can use the existing well (pump and dump), with a water temp of about 45F, as GREAT summer heat pump cooling. Plenty of "cold" BTUs there (for your area).

Winter heating is tougher . . .

Think of about 3 GPM per ton of heating or cooling.
