Why is my energy bill so high?

High energy bills are usually caused by poor insulation, air leaks, an aging or poorly maintained HVAC system, a dirty air filter, or extreme weather. Other causes include running the thermostat at extreme settings, using space heaters frequently, or having appliances that are past their efficient lifespan. An energy audit can identify exactly where your home is wasting energy. Even simple fixes like sealing drafts can make a noticeable difference.
