In exchange for providing power to the rack, home and office owners will get free heat and hot water -- from the article
This only makes sense for the commercial data center that is already using the electricity to power the rack. For homeowners, this is like using electric space heaters, which is very expensive. Not a good deal. And as @Thieum22 pointed out, what about summer?
