A thermal reuse system includes a compressor operable to increase a pressure of a working fluid, an external coil, a thermal expansion valve, a conditioned space coil, and a cabin thermal system. The cabin thermal system includes a living space coil operable to cool or warm a working fluid according to the operational mode, and a living space thermal expansion valve operable to increase or decrease a temperature of the working fluid according to the operational mode. In a conditioned space heating or cooling operational mode, the working fluid flows between the compressor, the external coil, the thermal expansion valve, and the conditioned space coil. In a living space heating or cooling operational mode, the working fluid flows between the compressor, the external coil, the living space thermal expansion valve, and the living space coil.
