Chiller: Hailea HC-500A

How does everyone avoid having their house temperature increase significantly due to the immense heat that is blown out the back of the aquarium chiller?

Besides having the air conditioner running 24/7 through summer, is there any other strategies anyone has come up with to prevent the house from become so hot while the chiller is running? It heats up our house so much I'm almost tempted to cut a hole in the floor and keep the chiller underneath the house..

Chillers can be plumbed from "outside'.
When I ran one I put it on a shelf by a window & ran ducting to the window because of the heat produced.
