Their point was that it’ll use the same amount of energy as it does to provide heat.

Kinda sorta. Air conditioners seemed like a more common phrase to reference, so I just clarified that it’s the same thing.
Arguably it would be cheaper to cool than to heat, because the whole point is to move heat from one place to another. The heat is easy to collect in a hot house vs a cold winter outdoor setting, and you probably don’t need to change the temperature as much (if you target, say, 20C and you experience 35 in summer and -5 in winter, you have a 15 degree difference in one direction and 25 in another)
