It wouldn't be impossible to use this cold air to cool the house with suitable location of the system and ducting.

Yes, possible, but a minimal amount of cooling is to be had with a domestic heat pump, compared with the cooling requirements for a typical house on a hot summer day.

I'm sure Tracker will be along shortly to describe his pantry cooling via HW HP exhaust experiences

Agreed. But if you live somewhere where year round cooling would be of benefit then it could be worthwhile recovering this otherwise wasted energy.
