Toggle each recommendation on and off to see its impact on your bill, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Your bill is estimated to be $101 on the lower end (around February) and $129 on the higher end (around June). In your state of Illinois, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 18¢. The cheapest rate can be found in North Dakota, at 11¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 41¢ per kWh.
In your state of Illinois, the energy sources are 12% coal, 57% nuclear, 12% natural gas, 17% wind, and 2% solar. This means 24% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 2,988 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 6,513 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 663 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,445 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house 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 2,079 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
