I don't do this very often so see if this reasoning/conversion is right or if I even understand the question.

So if you had a 3 ton heat pump, the box you built around the unit outside would have 36000 BTUs being taken out of it. (I think a heat pump in heat mode the box outside is the evaporator).

The energy added to the box would be what you put in to run the compressor with say 5 hp max (3750 watts) or about 13,000 BTUs.

You would take 3 times the heat out of the box as what you add so the box would get mighty cold.
