@gwynnion@mastodon.social That is a very big simplification. The energy needed to run the AC is also emitted outside. Which is also the case for all other energy that has been transported to your house in the form of, for example, electricity or gas. So the problem is the energy consumption, not the heat that gets pumped in itself. If the house is not properly insulated or a lot of sun is let in, that energy increases, though. Things like PV can mitigate this somewhat, by not being transported energy.
