What are your goals?
Toggle each recommendation on and off to see its impact on your bill, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Your bill is estimated to be $92 on the lower end (around October) and $134 on the higher end (around July). In your state of Minnesota, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 17¢. The cheapest rate can be found in Idaho, at 12¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 52¢ per kWh.
In your state of Minnesota, the energy sources are 14% coal, 27% nuclear, 17% natural gas, 2% hydroelectric, 29% wind, and 10% solar. This means 31% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 3,348 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 5,862 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 599 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,049 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 116 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 1,494 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
