I had a idea that might save some energy. I've had ideas like this

backyard pool water with the condenser coil from my central air. The
pool gets heated, while the AC, presumably, cools the house more
efficiently.

I recently thought of running the compressor and coil from my
refrigerator and freezer outside. This wouldn't be such a huge
effort - . . . .

Both fine ideas.

However: ". . . .This wouldn't be such a huge effort- . . ." is
hardly the case. The job requires some significant expense for
refrigerant and copper and a need for some fairly skilled labor. I
can't see any hope for recovering your costs unless it's totally
DIY. Are you good enough at HVAC to do the work?
