I want that for my fridge. Move the compressor and radiator somewhere else than the kitchen.

That'd be cool. Those things make a lot of noise. Would be nice if the refrigeration hardware itself was located as far as possible from the living areas.

What if homes had some kind of centralized modular heat exchanging infrastructure? That way we could move heat from hot things that need to be cold to cold things that need to be hot. Move heat from my computers to a water heater or something. Gotta use all that excess heat for something, right?
