[quote=Anonymous]Our 40s colonial has new appliances like HVAC and such, but windows are from 80s, and the house has been expanded to probably 2500 sq ft of conditioned space. Our average annual electricity is 1800 kWH which seems REALLY high. Average for VA is 1000. Any ideas where we could be losing energy? Heat is 2 zone, so downstairs is gas upstairs is heat pump; 2 zone AC in winter. Gas water heater and stove. 1 fridge. We do have sump pumps, which aren’t listed in high energy using appliances but maybe we need to consider? Is it just bad thermal envelope — we keep house at 66 in winter and 73 in summer. [/quote]
