In your state of Illinois, the energy sources are 17% coal, 50% nuclear, 15% natural gas, 16% wind, and 2% solar. This means 32% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 8,916 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 8,918 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 1,447 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,447 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.
