What HVAC Stats Do You Need to Know as a Homeowner?

By Angie Lyczkowski | Published: September 6, 2022

You probably don’t think much about your HVAC system beyond the comfort it provides. However, there are a few things that are important to know if you want to get the most out of your system. Here are some HVAC stats to be aware of.

HVAC Stats on Demand

87% of homes in the United States have air conditioning. Globally, it’s a $240 billion industry. In 2012, there were around 98 million HVAC systems sold worldwide. By 2024, that number is projected to reach 151 million.

As more and more people purchase HVAC systems, what are their criteria? According to a recent survey, 38% of consumers rank reliability as their top priority when shopping for a new system. The next deciding factor was cost.

What that means is that most people are willing to spend a little extra to get a system that will last longer, perform better, and not break down as often. A more reliable system will save you money in the long run, as well as improve your home comfort.

HVAC Stats on Energy Usage

Some of the most important HVAC stats are about the energy they use. Your HVAC system is the biggest energy consumer in your home. The average Ohio home is 1,620 square feet, which requires about 4 tons of cooling capacity to keep it comfortable.

The average energy bill in Ohio is $155 per month, or $1,860 per year, and half of that is spent on heating and cooling. Those numbers go up if your system isn’t efficient. Ductwork leaks cause average energy losses of 40% percent and force your system to work up to 50% harder.

Therefore, if you’re looking to lower your energy bills or reduce your carbon footprint, the place to start is your HVAC system. In addition to patching leaks, consider upgrading to a smart thermostat and/or an Energy Star-certified system to reduce energy usage and save money.

If you’re looking for a reliable, efficient HVAC system for your home, contact us at Energy 1 Heating & Air Conditioning. We provide top HVAC service to Lorain, Elyria, and Oberlin.
