Clearly this homeowner was frustrated with their current energy usage when they contacted Comfort Now. They were even in the process of putting up solar panels on the roof to try and use some sort of alternative energy to offset these costs. This is a common thing we hear from people we work with a lot, and there are a few reasons that you can have unusually high energy usage:
- Old Equipment - Sometimes equipment can be outdated and simply not be the right tool for the job anymore.
- Broken or Un-serviced System - If your system is not 100%, it may be using extra energy to get the job done, costing you extra money.
- Wrong Equipment - We often see people with the wrong kinds of systems for their home. This could be the wrong size, or type of technology being used. This can happen if the contractor recommends the wrong system, or a homeowner buys the system without expert advice.
