18k / 18 years. A grand a year this costs you. What is you normal juice bill 150 a month. 1800 a year? So you save 800/ yr.

That’s not a head turner.

Our bill was 190-220 a month. Also, you have to add in the difference from inflation and other ways the electric company will stick it to people for those 18 years. Plus that money can be on the market or other investments. Not chump change in any way. Your math wasn't exactly right. Break even in 7 years. They last 25 years. At saving $200 a month after break even is $2400 a year or about about 43K saved in energy bills over 18 years. Reality is probably closer to 60k with inflation.
