My hubby & I were having a lot of difficulty figuring out why our electric bill was so high this year… It costs almost 50% more this year than it did last year! Every one of us dug out an outdated bill & the rate hadn’t gone up.
So it had to be something else, but the only thing the people I was with and I could suppose of is the fact that our air conditioning system has to work truly taxing to keep the apartment cool.
It didn’t used to have to run non-stop in order to cool the house. So the people I was with and I called up an air conditioning system company & asked them to take a look. It turners out that there is nothing wrong with the air conditioning system itself. The problem is with our HVAC duct. It is leaking a lot of air. The professionals said that half of the air that our air conditioning system is protruding is escaping outside. That is insane. Thankfully they were able to repair it with some HVAC duct sealing. They sealed up all of our HVAC duct & even updated a few ducts. I have to say that the people I was with and I can already tell the difference. The air coming out of the vents feels much colder, additionally, the air conditioning system is not running non-stop anymore. It only turns on for a few minutes then it turners back off for several minutes. I guess that it will take a few weeks for this HVAC duct sealing to reflect on our electric bill although I am looking forward to it doing so. I bet the people I was with and I will see a major decrease in our bill. This didn’t just happen. It has been going on for awhile now. So I’m blissful the people I was with and I finally got it fixed.
