Understand Your Current Energy Usage

Electricity Costs

Your bill is estimated to be $118 on the lower end (around April) and $149 on the higher end (around July). In your state of Michigan, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 21¢. The cheapest rate can be found in North Dakota, at 12¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 47¢ per kWh.

Energy Sources

In your state of Michigan, the energy sources are 11% coal, 20% nuclear, 47% natural gas, 1% petroleum, 2% hydroelectric, 13% wind, and 6% 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 4,896 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 9,130 lbs.

Usage and Consumption

Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 593 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,107 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. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.

Your Utility

Your electricity is provided by Consumers Energy Co. To set up your account for a new move, to report an outage, or for any other questions, contact them using the information below.

How We Crunch the Numbers

1
We estimate every home's electricity usage based on data from a number of public and private data sources, including your electricity distributor and the Department of Energy.
2
We overlay key information about where you live, including weather and climate data about your region, and housing data like when your home was built and how big it is.
3
To figure out your home's carbon footprint, we look at how electricity is generated in your state, like whether your electricity is coming more from coal (very carbon-intensive) or wind (carbon-free).

Using this data-driven approach, we have created a machine learning model that can estimate electricity usage and carbon footprint for every home in the US. We then use this information to recommend the best options for you, so you can feel good that WattBuy is recommending something truly personalized.

Our electricity estimations are trusted by our partners at The Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, as well as many of the biggest consumer brands in the world.
