Making comparisons are difficult because everyone uses electricity differently. But comparisons aside, the cost of heating and cooling your home increases as the outside temperature rises in the summer and drops in the winter.
The impact on your electric bill largely depends on your lifestyle and the energy efficiency of your home. Key factors include the insulation levels of walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, and skylights; the type of heating system; the degree of air infiltration; the home’s solar orientation; and the total floor space or volume of the house.
