Reverse Cycle Chiller is pretty much the same thing as heat pump. The only thing that is reverse is that you are exploiting the heat rather than the cold. Acuario (search on EcoRenovator) did some great stuff with salvaged air conditioners, turning them first into swimming pool heaters, and then into house heaters. He made his own heat exchangers, too. He has photos and explanations of the whole nine yards. You might be able to build your own heat exchanger and save your $100 for HVAC tools. You will also find loads of information on the Homemade Heat Pump Manifesto thread (also search on EcoRenovator). Just do some careful searching using the search button at the top of the page... Everything you want to know is there. Good luck on your project, please take photos, we all want to see what you're doing. -AC_Hacker
