Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning Energy Consumption

Here are some facts:

Over 50% of home energy costs are related to heating and cooling equipment. Hot water heating energy consumption for average home is around 20%. ¾ of overall home energy costs are related to only three appliances.

Most of the homeowners set their thermostats at 72 degrees in Winter. Less than a third of us set indoor temperature at 68, and very few have an arctic setting of 66 or below

Half of the homeowners don’t know what they pay for electricity, gas (or oil) each month, while only 15% don’t care how much they consume per month.

According to US Energy Information Administration:

MORE THAN HALF OF ENERGY USE IN HOMES IS FOR HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
