Ten Grand

In less than a day I blew nearly ten grand on a new furnace/AC system. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to justify the cost based on energy savings; nonetheless, I'm hoping for a 1/3 return while conceding 2/3s for improved comfort.

Man! On a 100 degree day, after no air conditioning until 5:00 PM, this new unit cooled the house down easily easily! three times faster than my old unit. It is much better in the garage, too, as the condenser fan is substantially quieter than my old unit.

I will be making an energy comparison post shortly, to roughly estimate the energy savings (now that I can meter the new unit) and I will make a determination if this was a correct move.

Buy more to save less...is this our American paradox?
