Home energy bill analysis for heating and cooling costs
ClimaCost
Find out why your utility bill feels high, how much weather is affecting your heating and cooling costs, and which HVAC or home-performance steps may be worth pricing next.Why bills feel high
A clearer answer than system age alone.
Heating and cooling costs make more sense when weather, home age, equipment age, fuel type, thermostat behavior, comfort symptoms, and your bill pattern are analyzed together.See whether the season explains the bill, or whether the home needs attention.
ClimaCost compares your ZIP, recent heating and cooling weather, home size, and monthly bill so a hot summer or cold winter does not get mistaken for a failing system.
Use an average bill, or paste details for a clearer explanation.
Optional bill text is redacted for account-like numbers before storage, then used to explain usage clues, rate pressure, and seasonal patterns in plain English.

Common questions
Use the report before you spend serious money.
Why is my heating or cooling bill so high?
High bills usually come from a mix of weather, home size, insulation, duct leakage, system age, thermostat behavior, and local energy prices. ClimaCost separates those signals so you can see what is most likely worth checking first.
Can ClimaCost tell me whether to repair or replace my HVAC system?
The report does not diagnose equipment, but it can show when system age, repair history, comfort issues, and bill pressure make a repair-vs-replace conversation worth having with a licensed professional.
Does the report include heat pump rebates and tax credits?
Yes, with careful language. ClimaCost links to DOE and IRS resources and explains that eligibility depends on your home, equipment, location, timing, utility, and tax situation.
