The reason that you can get better efficiency in heating the water is that you can just dump the energy into the water more or less and this will heat it up. To cool the water you'd have to use some sort of heat pump and that cannot run at 100% efficiency so there will be some energy wasted. So anyway, more energy used in cooling.
