Yes, but some structures and locations are more ideal than others. The existing distribution will need to be able to be compatible with the lower temperatures of geothermal (120 Fahrenheit). Radiant floors are an ideal distribution system. High temp radiators are not ideal and some type of supplemental heat would be required.
