AIIR Releases Residential HVAC Study Revealing Pressing Need for Greater Energy Efficiency

New research shows that 69% of U.S. - based residents are seeking more-sustainable HVAC practices for better living

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AIIR, a leading provider of cutting-edge, AI-powered heating and cooling solutions, today released the results of its first ever residential HVAC research study. The study reveals significant insights into American residents' attitudes towards energy efficiency, with 57% of U.S. residents polled willing to pay higher rent for buildings with more energy-efficient features and 69% advocating for sustainable HVAC practices to enhance their living conditions. Furthermore, over 76% of residents expressed interest in incentives for reducing energy and water usage in their units.

Key findings include: 

• 61% of residents polled have avoided upgrading their air conditioning/heating units due to increasing costs
• A majority of residents (52%) have had their comfortability impacted due to rising air conditioning/heating unit costs
• 69% of residents think their buildings could benefit from more sustainable air conditioning/heating management practices
• 57% of residents are willing to pay a slightly higher rent for a building with more energy-efficient features
• More than 76% of residents would be interested in receiving incentives for reducing energy and water usage in their units

The study comes as rising energy costs continue to impact consumers and U.S. inflation continues to strain wallets, with residential electric utility expenditures projected to reach its highest point in 10 years. This increase exacerbates the financial burden on inflation-weary residents and poses severe health risks, with heat-related deaths climbing to over 2,300 last year. Despite the escalating crisis, federal assistance programs have been slashed, leaving many Americans to grapple with unaffordable energy bills amidst intensifying heat waves.

"Our latest research study sheds light on the significant impact rising HVAC costs have on American residents," said Trevor Schick, President of AIIR. "The findings underscore a growing demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions, as residents seek ways to balance comfort and sustainability in their homes.
