Toggle each recommendation on and off to see its impact on your bill, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Your bill is estimated to be $73 on the lower end (around February) and $89 on the higher end (around July). In your state of Montana, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 13¢. 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 Montana, the energy sources are 46% coal, 4% natural gas, 25% hydroelectric, 23% wind, and 2% solar. This means 50% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 7,236 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 23,280 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 584 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,881 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 23 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 2,472 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
