Thats the point, they both use the inverter based heat pumps, they even use the same refrigerant. By no-one builds one that shares the same unit, so they both dump waste temperature differential into the outside air.
i’ve always been frustrated by this… i want a heat pump system where you have high and low pressure refrigerant pipes like regular water pipes and have AC, fridge, hot water, and drier all just use the same big compressor outside… drying clothes in the summer with the AC running would be basically free (if you don’t have anywhere outside to hang them), using the fridge in the winter similar
having compressors for all these systems when they’re rarely all used together seems wasteful (plus, 1 big system is often far cheaper - not to mention more efficient - than 4 or 5 small systems)
