The chart below gives an idea of how much money I have saved by replacing my heating/air conditioning system. The comparison chart compares two different systems. The 2002 system is at the house I moved from. That house was approximately 1100 square feet with a 2.5-ton heat pump system. The new house, which is actually 15 (or so) years old, is 1800 sq. ft. with a 3ton heat pump system. The 2003 system is the house I moved my family into at Christmas of 2002.
The money I’m saving on my electric bill is more than enough to pay for the hvac system we put in my new house. Within a few years I will have saved enough money for the hvac system to be free!

There is no guarantee of
money savings. Your results may
vary. This is because I have no control
over your thermostat setting, how often the kids leave your doors open, or the
number of people you have over for social activities. I’m posting this information for two reasons. 1. I’m totally amazed at the savings on my
electric bill. 2. I would like to sell
you a new hvac system. Thanks,
Robert.
v Another note: a system like this is not cheap. Zoning costs $500 + $500 per zone. New ducts $1500 up. Trane XL1800 systems $6000 up. However, a system that costs even $8500 will pay for itself in 5 years. After that, it's pure profit - free and clear.
