That's only true if value your added comfort at a very low price. The problem is that it is hard to put a value on the comfort of a house, either while living in it, or while selling it. Hotels, however, do it all the time, but it's easier since they are in the business of selling comfort at various levels.
- ihaveajob 3y agoThat's right. I remember a local "electrification festival" where some vendors and city officials teamed up to explain the various options. One of the most common questions was "will this lower by bill"? And the most memorable answer by a vendor was "probably now, but you won't have to be wearing that coat in your living room". Which hit home because at the time we had a drafty house with poor heat distribution.
