Heat-pump modification idea

Heat pumps are a great climate control device, as I'm sure everyone is aware. They do not create heat, but move it from one place to another.

Ground coil systems work very well but are very expensive. Systems that have coils in the open air are much cheaper, but don't work well in extreme Minnesota cold. Would it be possible to compromise, placing the coils in a root cellar or subterranean garage?
