Default UK RICS report says solar takes 208 years to repay...nonsense! Help needed!

In January 1993 we paid something over £300 for cavity wall insulation,
accompanied by the mocking of neighbours (just as they did in January
2005 when installed solar water heating). They said it wouldn't make any
difference to anyone except the company which did it.


Was it a new house then?


It was built in 1937.

I had cavity wall insulation in 1980.
Being a physicist I was able to work out how much it would save me in gas
whatever the neighbors said.


I would have been able to do it but I didn't think it was worth the
effort.

I do not have solar heating, nor will I unless I DIY it as it doesn't
make economic sense and it won't help global warming either.


It's made economic sense to us.

The general trend on gw cycle is 10 years away then we have a cooling period
on
earth and all the planets similar to the 1930's in your area as far local
weather.
I don't know what your local weather was in the 30's,but I would be scoping
it out.
I believe you are on track with insulating now instead of waiting
........because my local weather
in East Texas was much cooler during the 30's with some the rare snow days
that we got in the
20th century.
