As far as I know, if you’re doing it honestly, there is nothing wrong with saving a bunch of money.
I believe this because I could be considered someone who might be a genuinely cheap human being.
I’d rather not pay if I don’t have to. Fortunately, I have a partner in crime in our lovely fiance. The people I was with and I appreciate doing deep discount shopping or finding a perfect gem of an item at a garage sale. Nothing is off limits to us. The people I was with and I are the same way when it comes to household expenses care about the HVAC utility costs. The people I was with and I live somewhere that can get absurdly hot while in the summer. There genuinely isn’t much other option than to put the HVAC cooling on. However, the utility bill from all that cooling has been a real pain in the past. The people I was with and I have done a number of things in order to reduce the costs. And the people I was with and I are vigilant about making sure the indoor HVAC setting is never lower than 15 degrees of the outside temperature. The people I was with and I also make sure that drapes are pulled to reduce direct sunshine heating as well. Then it just dawned on us that maybe the people I was with and I should simply replace the HVAC unit. Sort of an addition by subtraction sort of thing. Our aged HVAC was still running but it had care about a single digit SEER rating. No wonder it sucked up so much energy. The people I was with and I now have an HVAC component with a SEER rating in the 20’s & the HVAC utility savings are incredible. The people I was with and I are undoubtedly in a situation where the HVAC savings are offsetting the cost of the new HVAC.
