Biden won’t let northerners heat their homes, nor southerners cool their homes.

We had a new central heating/air installed last September - 11K.

Mine is over 5 years old. Think I’ll go out and buy a new one.

I just got 2 new units installed in my 3200 sf empty nester house! Is he coming for my house next?-)

Comrades! Do not be deceived into thinking that our elite enjoy air-conditioning during hot days and heating during cold nights. The chill and low humidity of air-conditioning causes them great discomfort, that they are willing to undergo in order for them to do the peoples’ work and to save Mother Earth.

Just as you wouldn’t expect them to walk or bike the 15 minutes to their workplace, you cannot expect them to work for us when shivering prevents them from writing necessary diktats for the public good.

(Just yesterday my wife and I were discussing the movie Psycho. In the real estate office, only the boss’s office had a/c. The secretaries had to endure the heat. That’s the future planned for us.)

Your next new home air conditioner could set you back $12,000 or more, with federal regulators contributing to the rising cost of staying cool. Before 2020, buying and installing a new residential central air conditioner typically cost well under $10,000.

Has Mr. Lieberman (the author) bought any groceries or filled a car with gasoline since 2020?

Comparatively, air conditioning seems a relative bargain.

At what point is there a collective no más?

There’s also the issue of EPA banning the most common residential refrigerant. This will force many system replacements.

Always floating that canard that the consumer benefits in the long run: Pay $1500 now, but they never say that it will purportedly save some piddling some that will offset the cost in 8, 19, 12 years. I am so tired of being lied to

[discostu]

I just put in a new one. 18G. Of course it’s way quieter than the one it replaced, and uses less electricity.

We knew this was coming, the Communist Pope telegraphed it years ago.

Everything this admin does either frays the fabric of American society or makes your life more espensive and vexing. And it’s all so unnecessary!

[Red Badger]

Thank God we got our HVAC replaced just in time. Cost $7000. Now it would be closer to 12-14k...........FJB!...............

[dagunk]

Return on Investment:

Federal definition: Spend several hundreds of billions dollars and over the next few generations we should see significant improvement in the lives of our constituents, after all it’s for the children. You can’t put a price tag on quality of life

Private party definition: the time it takes to recover the cost of the initial investment based upon the savings.
