We just recently received our latest heating and cooling bill and were amazed at just how much our bill was. We live in a brand new home and knew that all the insulation was great and there were no leaks. What we discovered is that our thermostat was in a room with no blinds in this room and this caused it to be in direct sunlight most of the day. So the thermostat was staying warmer and staying on longer even though the was staying cool. This was a lesson that we wanted to share and to look placing wood blinds in your windows and look at the placement of your thermostat and if your energy bills are sky high you may want to rethink where you have your controls.
