Proximity to Atlanta: Being part of the metro Atlanta area means a higher cost of living and potentially higher energy demand from a dense suburban population.
Historic Homes: Many of Roswell's older, historic homes may have less effective insulation and older HVAC systems, leading to higher energy consumption to maintain comfortable temperatures.
