WHY ARE MYENERGY BILLSSO HIGH?

IF YOUR UTILITY BILLS SEEM ABNORMALLY HIGH IT MAYBE CAUSED BY SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE WEATHER.

If you have gotten a letter from

APS or SRP saying that you are

using more energy than your

neighbors.

HOW DO IKNOW IFMY ENERGYBILLS ARETOO HIGH?

Talk to your neighbors who have

the same floor plan as you and

find out how much they  pay a

month

As a rule of thumb, an energy

efficient home will have a HIGH

energy bill of $100 per 1,000 sq ft.

HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHYYOUR ENERGY BILLS ARE SO HIGHAND SOME DIY FIXES YOU CAN DO

TO LOWER THEM

THE POOL PUMP IS OVER-USED

TWOMake sure you pool pump is

calibrated to your pool size,

filter type and piping

configuration.  

The pool pump can be the second biggest energy user in your home

and draw more power than even your water heater.  

THREEAPS and SRP offer rebates and

Green ID is a certified variable speed

pool pump installer to make sure your

pump is calibrated exactly to your

pool specifications.

The code for attic insulation was almost

half of what it is today. If your home was

built more than 20 years ago, consider

doing an energy audit for your home.

THE ATTIC INSULATION IS LOW

Page 6: Why is My Energy Bill So High

DUCTWORK ISUNDERSIZEDYour air conditioning system is only as good as the ductwork that delivers it

If you have a 5 ton air conditioner but your ductwork

is sized for only a 4 tons of airflow, that will cause

high energy bills and hot rooms in the summer.

LEAKY DUCTS!

TWOMost homes in Arizona have the

ductwork located in unconditioned

attic space, where temperature

differences can be extreme and

any leakage results in the HVAC

system working even harder

In a typical home, APS and SRP estimates about 20% of the air that moves

through the duct system is lost because of improper installation.

THREESheet metal ductwork is better for

airflow and durability than flex

ductwork, but homes built with

sheet metal ductwork are rarely

sealed and typically leak 20% of

the conditioned air into the attic.

Hot rooms can be a cause of long duct lines,

furthest away from the air handler, or even a bad

duct design with kinks, u­turns and improper size.

POOR AIRFLOW CAUSING ONEROOM TO BE HOTTER THAN

THE REST OF THE HOUSE.

  The answer are energy vampires.  At Green ID our energy

auditors are trained to uncover hidden energy vampires that

may be lurking around your home and driving your energy

bills much higher than your neighbors.

HIDDEN ENERGY VAMPIRES Many homeowners are stumped as to why their energy bills are so

high when they have a newer home with good insulation levels.
