Sometimes I wonder how difficult it would be to heat pump-ify everything and set up a building-wide refrigerant loop that would allow anything to exchange heat with anything else.
Your fridge needs to run? Route it to the water heater. A li'l cold out? Route all heat to warming the air and get some extra from the ground/air source. The biggest issues I can think of are that everything that should be able to get warm needs its own local compressor, and everything needs to be designed with the same refrigerant in mind.
That was my dream-home.
A single compressor (well, and another one as backup) and lot of condensers/evaporators and even lot of valves.
Take heat from you don't want it and put it where you want, depending on season.
Fridge, freezer, water heater, space heater/cooler, and two big tankers, one for hot water and one for cold one, as seasonal thermal battery; everything connected by the same heat pump circuit.
But.
But I'm not rich, so:

@Karcsesz@equestria.social @TechConnectify@mas.to Imagine having heat pump quick-connect sockets next to every electric outlet.
