Toggle each recommendation on and off to see its impact on your bill, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Your bill is estimated to be $153 on the lower end (around September) and $368 on the higher end (around January). In your state of Illinois, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 16¢. The cheapest rate can be found in North Dakota, at 12¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 40¢ per kWh.
In your state of Illinois, the energy sources are 16% coal, 48% nuclear, 17% natural gas, 16% wind, and 3% solar. This means 33% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 7,944 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 7,949 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 1,299 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,299 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.
