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 $57.87 on the lower end (around February) and $85.98 on the higher end (around June). In your state of Iowa, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 13¢. The cheapest rate can be found in Nebraska, at 12¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 40¢ per kWh.
In your state of Iowa, the energy sources are 27% coal, 16% natural gas, 1% hydroelectric, 55% wind, and 2% solar. This means 43% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 5,328 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 10,363 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 596 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,161 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 55 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 1,408 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
