They are not usually practical in urban areas as you need a largish lawn
area to run the piping through. However, the systems I have heard about
provide a forced air system with heating and cooling by maintaining an
even temperature through out the home 365 days a year. 

Basically, because the temperature is an even 20 or 22 degrees stepping
in from the cold the home will feel warm and stepping in from the heat
the home will seem cool as a matter of comparison.

I do not know about the maintenance of these systems.
