A study found that waste heat generated by a city’s worth of air conditioners during a heatwave can raise the outside temperature by more than 2 degrees Celsius.
Did I accidentally post metrics that are incorrect? I certainly don’t remember that. Tens of watts times hundreds or millions of homes will still have a measurable effect even without AC. It’ll just be smaller and I don’t think anyone is going to argue that.
There are orders of magnitude difference between what the air conditioning does, and what you’re referring to.

How dense do you think these homes are?

The measurable effect is from the heat pumps.
Heat pumps are exceptionally efficient
