Don't RTGs generate power constantly? That would make them impossible to use for a casual customer.

1) Sell the power back to the power company (granted, at the wholesale price)
2) Use the heat given off to generate more power

Possibly. I'm not sure what you would do with it in the summer though. Even Arctic and Antarctica have pretty big seasonal temperature variations.
