Why Is HVAC
The Source of
Your Household's
Energy Usage?
Cooking a dinner, using a computer, watching TV,
heating/ cooling a house – all these household activities
require energy. But according to Energy Star, a federal
program that promotes energy efficiency, about half of what
the average household spends on energy bills goes toward
heating and cooling. Upgrading your old HVAC unit to an
energy-efficient Bryant system can cut utility costs by
about 20% (or $200 annually on average).
