It looks like the payback time on my Tarm is about 5-6 years. However, I am trying to figure out my payback on setting up a pressurized 500 gallon tank? If one spent 5000 dollars on this setup.. how long is it before payback? How about if you spent 7000... or even 9000. These seem to be the going rate when buying all the equipment and having a plumber install it. Is it worth it financially in the long term? I mean.. I know the Tarm saves me alot during the winter.... but how much will storage save me in the shoulder season? 150 gallons of fuel( more ... less?)? At 3 dollars a gallon( estimated over the next 10 years?).. that's about 450 per year. Maybe these estimates of amount of fuel it saves are high? I have no clue. So we are talking ( estimate) 10-20 years payback?
How much fuel would you say your storage saves you each year?
What does your payback look like?
I know for many it will be different.. because you have done your own plumbing and found your own tanks... thereby cutting your payback time. How about a consumer in the marketplace who wants to buy the product.. and have it all installed? Like me.
Would I be better served by using the money and investing in a solar array to cut costs in my electrical use? Is the payback on this better?
