Toggle each recommendation on and off to see its impact on your bill, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Your bill is estimated to be $107 on the lower end (around June) and $116 on the higher end (around December). In your state of California, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is the highest rate in the country: 40¢. The cheapest rate can be found in North Dakota, at 11¢ per kWh.
In your state of California, the energy sources are 11% nuclear, 30% natural gas, 17% hydroelectric, 8% wind, and 34% solar. This means 30% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 1,296 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 2,790 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 367 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 790 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.
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.
