Your bill is estimated to be $128.57 on the lower end (around September) and $403.62 on the higher end (around January). In your state of North Carolina, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 14¢. The cheapest rate can be found in Louisiana, at 12¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 42¢ per kWh.
In your state of North Carolina, the energy sources are 15% coal, 28% nuclear, 43% natural gas, 2% hydroelectric, and 11% solar. This means 58% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 13,236 lbs CO² a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 13,739 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 1,537 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,595 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 53 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 1,708 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
