As a thermodynamics specialist, I love it !  However, if their
insulation is real good then it won’t work.

After reading the other responses, I am wondering if there are three
types of insulation to consider:

-- that of the heat pump itself
-- that of the house to which it is (officially) attached
-- that of the house to which it is (unofficially) attached

and, if so, which was meant? Feel no need to pick one; "all three"
would be a perfectly fine response, if that is what was intended.
