Simplifying HVAC system ownership
You don’t have to sacrifice clean air for energy savings
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the average home consumes 11,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year, and the average price of electricity in the 12 months ending in June 2022 was 14.41 cents per kWh . By multiplying 11,000 by 0.1441 we get the average cost of electricity per household per year: $1,562.
The EIA reports that the U.S. residential sector consumed 4.65 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2021 . We divided the number by the total number of households in the U.S. (122,354,219 ) to determine that the average home consumed 38,004 cubic feet of natural gas in 2021. At an average cost of $15.19 per thousand square feet for natural gas in the six months ending in June 2022, we estimate the average household spends $577.19 on natural gas per year.
According to EIA, 51% of a household’s annual energy consumption is for space cooling and heating , making the HVAC system the largest consumer of energy in the average home.
Avg cost of HVAC replacement cost of $7,000 and an average equipment lifespan of 15 years resulting in an annual cost of $466.67.
Avg cost of electricity ($1,562) + Avg cost of natural gas ($577.19) X Percent of energy used for cooling and heating (.51) X DOE savings on filter change (.15) = $163.65 PLUS increasing equipment life to 20 years = $7,000/15 = $466.67 annual X 5 years = 2,333.35/ 20 years = $116.67. Total savings of $280.32 equates to approximately 25% savings per year.
