Presumably the homeowner is required to provide an internet connection. The servers will have a consumer grade connection, hopefully with unlimited bandwidth but possibly in violation of commercial use rules that many ISPs have. They may not appreciate latency spikes when the homeowner does some heavy downloading.
There was a similar scheme in the UK a few years back, where they wanted to use the waste heat from the server to supply hot water. Most people have a central heating system that heats and circulates water. I'm not sure what happened, probably long dead because it's not very financially viable. At least these guys can just dump a crate by your house, although they will still need power for it. Probably want a wired network connection too.
