/

Why is my energy bill so expensive? Rising costs will affect you further 2023.

With the expected increases in 2023, Solar will not be enough to help with your energy costs. This struggle is affecting thousands of Californians, but there are solutions for you.

Q: I just saw my energy bill, and my jaw dropped! It’s way higher than ever! I called the electric company to see if there had been a mistake, but I was assured there wasn’t. Why is my electric bill so high? What am I doing that’s using so much electricity?

A: Home upgrades such as Energy-Efficient Windows and Insulation in Your Attic and Walls can help you battle the risings costs. Surprisingly, most homes in the valley have outdated windows & doors, and have little to no insulation.

Your bills are higher due to rising costs plus your HVAC is not working efficiently to warm your house in the winter and cool it in the summer. If you have old, single pane windows, imagine there being multiple holes throughout your home. These holes are releasing all the cool or warm air you want to keep inside the home. Your HVAC is working double time to keep you comfortable in your home.

Energy Efficient upgrades are the solution you need - but not everyone has money to invest in these upgrades.

“Insulation is the CHEAPEST upgrade anyone should make before getting anything else done on their home. It also has the greatest return and the biggest savings!” - Mike Vezina
