Yes, it gets a bit complex.

On a similar point, if your house is air conditioned, a dollar's worth of "waste" electrical heat (like from a freezer, or incandescent bulbs) take 2-3 dollars worth of AirCon electricity to remove.

But on the third hand, it's hotter outside in the summer (vs aircon indoors) , so the compressor has to work a bit more compared to being inside.

On the whole, I think your solution is the best, but having them indoors does come with some not-so-obvious advantages.
