It's really going to depend on the location in the US.
When I was living in the southwest, my energy bill per month was ~$500 for a 4 bedroom house. A/C eats a lot of power. After moving to the northwest, my bill is around $80/mo.
- Brakenshire 10y agoTo convert that to kWh, assuming a 10-15c/kWh rate, that would equate to 40,000-60,000 kWh per year in the SW and 6,400-9,600 kWh in the NE. My figure for a 4 bed house in the UK is about 4,800 kWh per year.
- mhenr18 10y agoI'm unsure about the US but I know that where I live a solid third or so of my power bills are a fixed rate that you pay to access the grid (so pretty much line rental). It doesn't feel to me like that's a particularly unique situation. So it's worth keeping in mind that the actual power usage figure may be a fair amount lower, and that your SW calcs are a bit of a worst case estimate.
- ghaff 10y agoThat's not the case on my bill in the Northeast. There's a $4/month customer charge but everything else is kWh based (whether from the supplier or the distributor).
