HVAC is more than temperature. Humidity matters a great deal. If the outdoor humidity is high, you will fill your home with cool, clammy air. That moisture will have to be removed from the air and the other house contents the next day. You might be better off transferring heat in the evening/night when the temperature gradient is shallow.
