BP Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It has been a very very expensive summer. Can't believe how expensive hot water heaters are now. I did a 50 gl tank in 2003 by myself for $600. I paid somebody $1500 to install a 40 gl tank. And no more sodering? Next year it's windows and insulation and siding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joewilly update yourself lol like usual your head is either up your ass or in the clouds. The price of hot water heaters recently within the last 4 months almost tripled in cost due to new regulations. Also I couldn't leave the old one on the curb for garbage pickup anymore a)they don't take them anymore and the township permit nazis would have fined me.

My house is a cape cod so nothing you are going to do to make the upstairs cool. LOL Nothing. The last time I bought the central ac unit was 1998 and I got a 3/4 ton unit with a v coil. That thing kicked ass for 17 years but just blew up two weeks ago. The new unit is a 1/2 ton with an n coil. And it is kicking ass. Got the ducts cleaned also. The furnace was 30 years old lol it was time. And I'm getting a new attic fan with the new roof next month. So we shall see what the electric bill will be at the end of August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Also windows will probably cost another $20,000 to do the whole house. Insulation and siding anywhere from $14,000-$20,000 depending on what kind of insulation. Yay!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
