A final comparison in this style
Monday, November 11th, 2024 at 07:24pm
Another two months have gone by since I last updated my comparison between 2023 with gas heating and off-peak hot water, against 2024 with solar panels and heat pumps for heating water and heating/cooling rooms. This will be the last time I can do a clean comparison between the old and the new.
I am not going to go into all the detail again, just giving the overall figures for the eight months from March to October:
| 2023 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | $1629.40 | $0.00 |
| Electricity | $1043.48 | $587.94 |
| Total: | $2672.88 | $587.94 |
I have paid over two thousand dollars less in 2024 than I did in 2023. This is only eight months, so even if I broke even for the other four months of the year this means that these upgrades will pay for themselves in only a few years…
