It's interesting that some people say "oh but you shouldn't use AC, it makes the outside even warmer"
but they never say
"you should never use shutters, if you don't let in the heat it makes the outside even warmer!"
Modern heat-pumps typically move at least 8x as much existing heat than they generate by performing the work of moving that existing heat,, so that's only around 10% in addition.
The two cases are roughly 90% the same.
