“That is because when you need air conditioning inside, you need to blow hot air (from the outside air) through a coil that is outside!”
???No different from the outside condenser unit of any traditional air conditioner.

Do you need to use your air conditioner in your house when it’s freezing outside?
Under normal conditions you probably wouldn’t ever run an air conditioner in the wintertime, but if you did, your air conditioner would run very efficiently, because it would be trying to expel heat out of that condenser coil and having no problem doing it in such cold conditions.
By why would you?
When it gets hot outside, that’s when you need to expel heat through that coil, but the hotter the air is that you move through it, the less efficient it gets. You have to overcome that loss of efficiency by investing more energy into the process.
In terms of energy efficiency, this process is counter intuitive.
However, if you trying to create a world where everything relies on electricity such as EV’s and heatpumps, then it makes perfect sense.
