WTF... if there's one person who's hard to convince, then it's me. I've been called stubborn, recalcitrant, an idiot, and a party pooper for stating my reasoning and sticking by it if no good counter-arguments are presented.
I'm the last one to budge when presented with an "because I say so" argument. You'll have a very hard time. I'm also the first one to change my views and even opinions if you can provide me proof that you're right and I'm wrong, or (in case of something based on opinion), your arguments are clearly superior to my own.
If I understand correctly, you're running both a heater and a/c, canceling each other out. Thus a huge drop in power consumption would happen when they're both shut off. As your rates are high, this will save a lot of money.
Taking your situation into account, your husband should see the smart course there. I would consider it spiteful, not wanting to do something even though watertight proof that you should be doing it is right in front of your face.

I've thought so for many years (and even said so on this trhead), but after meeting my current dating partner, I don't know anymore if I was correct in my thinking. Maybe my desired way of living with quite large time spans to myself yields 99 out of 100 women incompatible. (And the same seems to be true for her as well, but the other way around of course.)
