What??? You’re having an open house and I’m not invited??
Pout.
Just kidding!
Sweet savings!! (Not to mention being green and really cool.) Do you have an estimate of when it will have paid for itself?

You are always invited,with or without an invitation.
The ROI has several factors. The economic one depends on the value of oil. The emotional one is the freedom from dependence on oil.
