I'm not sure that actually works out to your advantage, because the heat pumps themselves produce extra heat. But I haven't done the math on that.

Heat pumps are typically 200-400% efficient. That is, they move 2-4x as much heat as they produce to move that heat. Although that is usually radiating energy to a fairly warm atmosphere. If they are pumping into an extremely cold environment you will get insane efficiencies since you are 'going with the flow' with regards to entropy increase.
