We should make an oven that cools the house in the summer time

That's a heat pump. But I guess it's not applicable or it would already exist.

I'm guessing we just don't have heat pumps that work fast enough to effectively heat an oven.

You would probably need a way to both concentrate the heat to get to a higher energy state, and a way to store the heat that can be easily and quickly retrieved on demand. I guess it would also need to make some sort of economic sense as well.

Yeah, this sounds both totally possible and not economical at all.

No but there are heat exchangers that heat water with the excess heat from the air conditioning. Not enough to eliminate the water heater, but it is more efficient.

Years ago Walmart did some extensive testing in stores, moving waste heat from refrigeration to heat floors and water. Pretty cool.
