Thanks Dodger, and great to see you around these parts. I miss those threads starting with "hey you maniacs"

Yeahm I would think about getting new A/C units, but it's not my house, and I don't think the owners like us much, so get fucked if I'm investing more into this house than I already have. If things work out as planned, we'll be in Chiang Mai shortly anyway.

On the topic of electric though, has anyone played around with the idea of Tesla Poweralls that came out a few years ago? They should be in full production mode by now. It's about $6000 USD for one wall mounted battery, but that battery can retain enough energy to power your average home for about 3 days. Then there's the additional initial investment of solar panels, which I'm sure isn't cheap. However, after that initial investment, your electric bill drops to 0 baht/month.

Anyone seriously look into that yet? Think I'll do so once we manage to get ourselves to Chiang Mai.
