Would it be feasible to create a 'heat bus' to pump heat between a network of devices in a house?
E.g in winter allow the fridge to dump heat into the kitchen, in the summer pipe it outside, or into the bathroom floors, or into the water heater.
Install one outdoor unit in the sun or attic where it's hot and another in the cooler shade...
