Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 581 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,436 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 30 years old—since the older it is, the less efficient it tends to be. Size also matters, as bigger houses take longer to heat or cool. Your house is 1,674 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
