Home Decor Ideas : The Beginning

I'm quite exciting at the prospect of owning a home of my own. Finally, a space I can truly call my own and what more someone very close to my heart to share it with.

So naturally, I'm looking into home decor ideas right now. Thank God we bought a place that doesn't really require new flooring save for the tiles in the bathroom which is in an ugly grey right now. So I presume most of the cost of the reno will go into the kitchen.

An expensive component of the new house will definitely be the airconditioning units. I think it might be a good idea to get all the rooms plus the living room done in one go rather than change systems midway.

Found this while scouring the web for the costs of these units.

Anyway, from what it looks like, the energy savings you get from an inverter vs a non-inverter system is 10 bucks a month? That's like 120 bucks a year in savings. Which is little compared to the 1 grand extra you typically have to pay on top when getting the inverter systems.

Will continue to do my homework.

Things will need in general, will be updated to the stuff list found on the right.

hey, don't just look at a year. Usually air-cons (when you do the proper maintenance), can last up to a good 10 years.

So perhaps it's worth the savings. Also depends on the length of time you turn on the air con.

Yes, there are many other factors, I read in the classified section today that a lady used an inverter system and saved 90 bucks a month. She took only 18 months to recover the investment of $1500 on top of what you normally pay for a non-inverter.
