Wow, I'd never considered that aspect of a heat pump before. But it makes sense -- a heat pump is (conceptually) just a backwards air conditioner, after all; it stands to reason that it'd make the room colder while it's operating.

My thermodynamics book in college (Cengal and Boles?) had a (Blondie) comic with The exchange:

“Are you air-conditioning the outside?”

‘No, I’m heating the house!’
