Heating takes a lot more energy generally than air conditioning (citation needed) in the US. Which makes sense when you think of the difference in temperatures from the inside of the house and the outside in winter compared to summer. Many people complain about the rise of air conditioning and how much energy it wastes, but actually it allows people to not live in the cold parts of the country, and is probably a net positive energy saver. Here is a great chart on home energy use [1]. [1] https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/use-of-energy/homes.php https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/use-of-energy/homes.php
