Savings!!!!!!!!!!

Member Posts: 85
Just needed somewhere to vent! There are no worse words to hear to hear from your spouse at the end of a hard day than " You wouldn't believe how much I saved at the sale I was at today " It certainly does not help matters when you ask if you can have some of that cash cause your a little short yourself!! Just had to walk away from that one..

Same with buying a condensing boiler. You have to spend a lot to save a little.0 -
That all depends
Since the savings are generally seen as a fraction of the total used, when you have greater heat loss you save more by increasing efficiency. Increasing the combustion efficiency by 10% is much better than decreasing the heat loss by 10%. So in a retrofit application, if the choice is between new windows or a new boiler, the new boiler may have a much better ROI than the windows. My units are a little messy in the calculations.

My mom would come home and say
"Look how much I saved us I got this for thirty percent off ".
My Dad would then say " Think how much you would have saved us if you had'nt bought it !"
Dad was a smart man.

Men are the Hunters
Women are the gatherers. It has been that way since caveman times. When I go shopping, I go with an object in mind I want to buy. I hunt for that object with a single minded purpose. When I find it I have a vague impulse to throw a spear through it. For I am Caveman hunting. My wife is a modern cave woman wandering the fields of Target and Kohl's. Instead of gathering nuts, berries and herbs, she browses, compares, she gathers information and marks prices and locations in her head. She accumulates incredible information. She is a gatherer. If they had a competitive shopping realty show, my wife would take home the million dollar prize. I don't claim to understand it. I'm with Scott's Dad mostly, but I have come to admire it. WW

My mistake
Was to say, " Good, now we won't need that for TWO lifetimes."
