Yes, a geothermal system will work well for Maine. Geothermal systems will work in any climate, but they are especially effective in cooler climates. Most of your energy bill is probably heating your home during the winter - this is where a geothermal system can save you the most money. It will also save you some money during the summer, but you might not have your AC on very often in Maine.
