If your hvac contractor tries to sell you a new furnace by telling you it’s more efficient and over one you may save money via energy savings, less repairs, etc that’s fair.

You just need to invest more energy on the most motivated people until you’ve scaled enough to include everyone else.

@William Coet, as Jackson noted, there are too many variables to even begin.Two things to remember, any tax losses you utilize to offset incomes, will reduce basis making bigger tax bill in sale year.
