I spent a lot of money to install solar, got new efficient windows, and got a heat pump to reduce gas usage. I’m thankful to have the financial freedom to make these decisions, as well as to have referrals for affordable options.
We’re trying to be better about plastic usage and waste in our household.
I did these to reduce my energy usage. They’ll save money long term eventually, but not enough to be worth it monetarily. I can’t control much but i can at least try to do what i think is better.
You did it, regardless of economic gain or loss. That’s kind of heroic, in my estimation. Thank you.
I disagree with it being heroic, but i really appreciate the sentiment. I imagine more people would do it if it was more affordable. I’ve gotten some flack from my family for it being costly (minimal flack, more like a double check), but it’s worth it (and they understand once i explain it).
Did it and savings don’t justify expenditure?Taking flack; taking time and effort to explain? Not kind of every day heroism? Please take the compliment, friend; the cost alone would stop too many, even though affordability weren’t an issue.
I appreciate it, thank you. Yeah fair points
I needed the smile this comment gave me. You are welcome, and thank you for the smile. May you be happy and well.
