High heating or cooling bills
Canonical HVACentric knowledge for all questions on this topic.
DIRECT ANSWER
Compare weather, billing days, rates, thermostat schedules, occupancy, and other major electrical or fuel loads before assuming the HVAC system is responsible. HVAC-related causes can include maintenance problems, auxiliary heat, duct losses, controls, building leakage, or changed operating conditions. Use actual bills and operating information, then ask for measured findings rather than a savings promise.
