Not as effecient as the limitless outdoor heat.

And it sounded so good on paper too !!
.

But you don't have to depend on the A/C as your only heat source. You can use in in conjunction with solar or a gas "kicker" unit.

I wouldn't say it's a bad idea at all. The biggest problem for me is that my A/C unit is on the complete other side of my house


I'd say keep rolling with the idea!
