Is switching to solar worth it for my situation? All existing ACs and oil fired systems are aging out at the same time and need replacement soon.

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I just purchased a home on Long Island NY and it all runs off oil. Gas is not an option for 5 more years. All of my current systems are aging but I'm told are top of the line and could last 5 or more years by the person who did the home inspection.</p> <p>I've read theories that solar install prices will go down now that the federal credit is gone, but this might not happen before I need to start replacing my existing system. It seems like solar is less beneficial without this credit, however I'm in a unique situation where most things need to be replaced soon.</p> <p>I currently have the following</p> <p>- Bock oil fired water heater estimated to be 30 years old</p> <p>- Weil McLain oil fired boiler estimated at 30 plus years old which runs baseboard heating</p> <p>- 2 carrier AC units approximately 18-19 years old</p> <p>My concern is if they start failing I will have to replace them with a newer option that favors oil as fuel since that's what I have currently. If I go with solar or not, I'll likely need to replace all of these things in the next few years.</p> <p>The home is 2,600 square feet plus a basement.</p> <p>Any guidance is appreciated!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/crl95"> /u/crl95 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/longisland/comments/1sqn18j/is_switching_to_solar_worth_it_for_my_situation/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/longisland/comments/1sqn18j/is_switching_to_solar_worth_it_for_my_situation/">[comments]</a></span>
