Your bill is estimated to be $65.43 on the lower end (around December) and $156.94 on the higher end (around January). In your state of Idaho, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 12¢. 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 Idaho, the energy sources are 39% natural gas, 40% hydroelectric, 10% wind, and 11% solar. This means 39% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 2,952 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 6,329 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 686 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,470 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 25 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 1,459 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
