Heat pump gurus ?'s

I've been thinking, I know ,BAD idea, but in the warm months the condenser coil uses the available "cool" air for doing it's work. In the winter the same unit reverses and uses available "heat in the surrounding air. When the air dips below 20 or so, the heat pump is ineffective. My question is , why wouldn;t you build a box around the unit during the winter to capture the heat from the mechnicals and just recirculate the warmer air surrounding the condenser coil?
