Welcome to the conversation munter,

The answer to your question is, yes you can. What's going to make it interesting is controlling the temperature.

The next fun part is deciding how much heat output will be appropriate for your situation. Your description of your addition is interesting, but you'll need to come up with a heat loss/gain figure.

You might be interested in people who have hacked ASHP so that they have water out.

I hear that Aussies are amazingly inventive...

Do your thing.
