Toggle each recommendation on and off to see its impact on your bill, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Your bill is estimated to be $254 on the lower end (around January) and $424 on the higher end (around February). In your state of Rhode Island, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 30¢. The cheapest rate can be found in North Dakota, at 11¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 40¢ per kWh.
In your state of Rhode Island, the energy sources are 81% natural gas, 2% wind, and 17% solar. This means 81% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 11,784 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 11,057 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 1,242 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,165 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 146 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 2,250 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
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.
