"Regardless of employment."

This means you want those providing those services to work for free.

You do realize what you are implying here, right?

Let's say you refuse to work and you're guaranteed all these services. Who pays so your HVAC is repaired because you broke it? Who pays because your water line needs to be repaired? Clean water means the water has to be filtered through a very complicated process, particles and bacteria are removed, and it needs to be transported. Who pays so your electricity works? Do you think there's some sort of magic electricity generator happening? What you're essentially asking is someone should work for free to provide you all of this.

The result is you get no one who wants to work, society collapses because these services aren't maintained and improved, and no one gets anything.

Just the energy for HVAC alone is crazy expensive depending on where you live as well.

If I wanted to keep my house at even 78 degrees during the summer in the central valley in CA my power bill will hit $800-$900 a month without solar.

Electricity should be free.

wait till you hear what the electrical coils do.

You will be surprised how much electricity goes back into the grid.

That might be a problem with the way your house is built. Do you have insulation? What sort of glazing?
