Your home or building contains several systems that make it useful and habitable in the standard sense of the words. The way each component performs has an effect on the overall performance of the structure. Maintaining, repairing, or changing out one, or some, of these systems can have an effect on the energy usage and performance of your home.

 

These systems may include:

 

The energy consumption of an average household when viewed as a percentage of the overall energy costs –

 

Upon quick view of these percentages, how can changing out your HVAC costs reduce your energy bills by 40%+? This is what several companies profess in their advertisements. You have to have a heating and cooling system for various reasons, so unless you eliminate the system, you will not be saving 40%! Maybe on that component, but only maybe!! If air leakage, a poor duct design, or lack of insulation is your real energy drain and related comfort problems, addressing these issues will be key to achieving those touted results.

 

By looking at the house-as-a-system and maximizing the efficiency of all the system components and building envelope, it has been shown to reduce energy bills between 30-60%. Now that is something that is not “too good to be true.”
