And my bet is you won't replace your system for $3000 either.

Excellent cost analysis.

But what about the children?

If we use up all the electricity today, there won't be any left for our
children and grandchildren.

Turn the AC thermostat up 2 degrees and you save more electricity than
going from 10seer to 14 seer.


We already run our A/C with a temp. setting of 74 or 75 F, and I
wouldn't bother with a new unit with an SEER of only 14 (compared to the
present 11) when there are now units with a claimed SEER of 20+ -- but I
have no idea how much those cost.
