Just got a Bosch Inverter (variable speed) last summer, and the remainder of the summer and through the winter, my electric usage is down by about 30% over last year's even though I lowered the thermostat temp in summer and increased it in winter.
Old system was 20 years old. I was hoping to see some ROI after this surprise expense, and it has exceeded expectation so far.
You could add end-of-life solar panels and an automatic transfer switch and save a lot more.
If only! I have a condo in an HOA neighborhood, so no outdoor goodies.
Get on the board and make everyone do it.
