Here lists the physics of how it works, but the simple answer is you are trying to fight the laws of thermodynamics. You can do it, but it requires energy.

Basically you are using energy to force heat from one location to another. Its not 100% efficient either. The heat you removed (plus the energy you lost in inefficiency) has to move somewhere and be dissipated.
