Toggle each recommendation on and off to see its impact on your bill, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Your bill is estimated to be $97 on the lower end (around November) and $162 on the higher end (around August). In your state of Illinois, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 19¢. The cheapest rate can be found in Louisiana, at 13¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 53¢ per kWh.
In your state of Illinois, the energy sources are 18% coal, 47% nuclear, 17% natural gas, 15% wind, and 3% solar. This means 35% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 4,872 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 9,910 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 733 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,490 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 66 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 1,856 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
