I have none of the above! That's the problem with a simple life.
Without the A/C running, PG&E rates my home better than "energy efficient" homes. I just don't use much electricity except in summer, and the savings from heat pumps, solar cells and batteries would never pay back.
I suppose that I could afford a vacation at the coast if I just took off and didn't cool the home in the heat. I'll run the numbers.
- maccard 3y agoThere's definitely some people (like you) who run a lean setup, and honestly you're probably best off not changing anything right now. > I just don't use much electricity except in summer, and the savings from heat pumps, solar cells and batteries would never pay back. I think it's a little unfair to expect the tech to pay itself off quickly, but it _is_ reasonable to expect the savings to cover the difference between a gas furnace and a heat pump for example.
- k310 3y agoI may move in the near future, and insist on a more efficient setup at the time. Thanks.
