Understand Your Current Energy Usage

Electricity Costs

Your bill is estimated to be $64 on the lower end (around February) and $238 on the higher end (around January). In your state of Minnesota, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 15¢. The cheapest rate can be found in North Dakota, at 12¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 40¢ per kWh.

Energy Sources

In your state of Minnesota, the energy sources are 22% coal, 21% nuclear, 39% natural gas, 1% hydroelectric, 12% wind, and 5% solar. This means 61% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 7,032 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 9,816 lbs.

Usage and Consumption

Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 713 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 994 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 112 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 1,326 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.

How We Crunch the Numbers

1
We estimate every home's electricity usage based on data from a number of public and private data sources, including your electricity distributor and the Department of Energy.
2
We overlay key information about where you live, including weather and climate data about your region, and housing data like when your home was built and how big it is.
3
To figure out your home's carbon footprint, we look at how electricity is generated in your state, like whether your electricity is coming more from coal (very carbon-intensive) or wind (carbon-free).

Using this data-driven approach, we have created a machine learning model that can estimate electricity usage and carbon footprint for every home in the US. We then use this information to recommend the best options for you, so you can feel good that WattBuy is recommending something truly personalized.

Our electricity estimations are trusted by our partners at The Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, as well as many of the biggest consumer brands in the world.
