Utility Costs

Understanding Your Utility Costs

In Pinellas County, the average monthly residential electric bill is approximately $218.00. This amounts to $2,616.00 per year. Given that HVAC systems account for about 41.7% of the total utility bill in this region, the annual cost dedicated to heating and cooling is $1,090.87. Regular servicing of HVAC units can save between 14-21% on cooling costs due to improved efficiency and reduced breakdowns​ (My Florida Home Energy)​​ (Ask IFAS – Powered by EDIS)​. For our calculations, we’ll use an average savings of 17.5%. Thus, the annual savings from regular maintenance are $190.90 per year.

Impact of Regular Maintenance

The annual cost for a service agreement that includes two extensive services per year is $279.00. While the immediate calculation shows a net cost, it’s essential to factor in the long-term benefits of regular maintenance, which include extended HVAC lifespan and reduced repair costs. Well-maintained systems are less likely to break down, leading to fewer unexpected repair costs. According to Energy Star, homeowners can save up to $378.00 annually on avoided repairs with regular maintenance. Additionally, poorly maintained HVAC systems can lead to issues like water leaks, which may cause significant damage to your home, leading to expensive repairs. Estimating conservatively, damage avoidance savings can be around $141.00 per year.
