This could be a boon for some ladies I know. And a few guys in the local men's club.

This is an idea who's time couldn't come too soon.

charging the battery in your car to capturing the heat escaping from your house to lower your energy bill.

Not likely, as it creates no energy, but simply changes it from one form to another.

You'll still pay for it in its original form.

yes but you will only pay for it once, you are re-capturing what is normally wasted to use somewhere else without having to pay again.

While possible, that is not necessarily the case.

For example, heat scavenged from the air in your house during the winter heating season increases the load on your heating system.
