Your Home

Basic details about where you live. This helps us set the right energy rates and emission factors for your area.

๐Ÿ’ก Electricity prices and carbon emission rates vary by state. This sets the right numbers for your area automatically so you don't have to look anything up.
๐Ÿ’ก Different home types lose heat differently. A detached house has more exposed walls and roof than an apartment, which means more surface area for energy to escape through.
๐Ÿ’ก Size is the biggest factor in how much energy you need to heat and cool your space. A larger home has more air volume to maintain at a comfortable temperature.
๐Ÿ’ก More people means more hot water use, more cooking, and more devices running at the same time. This helps us estimate your daily usage patterns accurately.
๐Ÿ’ก Older homes almost always have weaker insulation and single pane windows, which are the number one cause of energy waste. Building codes have improved significantly over the decades.
02

Heating & Cooling

Heating and cooling account for about 50% of a typical home's energy use. These questions help us find where the biggest waste is happening.

๐Ÿ’ก Your heating source determines both the cost and the carbon footprint of keeping your home warm. Gas and oil produce direct emissions while electric systems depend on your state's energy mix.
๐Ÿ’ก Cooling is the second biggest energy cost in most American homes. Air conditioners work harder and use more electricity the worse your insulation is.
๐Ÿ’ก Insulation is what keeps the temperature you paid for inside your home instead of leaking out. Poor insulation forces your heating and cooling system to work much harder and run much longer.
03

Appliances

Appliances run in the background every day and quietly add up. A few key questions help us identify which ones are costing you the most.

๐Ÿ’ก These five appliances account for the majority of background energy use in most homes. Checking which ones you have helps us calculate your baseline consumption accurately.

If none of these apply to you, leave all unchecked and press Next.

Lighting

One last question. Lighting is one of the easiest and cheapest things to fix โ€” so it's worth knowing where you stand.

๐Ÿ’ก LED bulbs use up to 75% less energy than old incandescent bulbs and last 25 times longer. Switching to LEDs is one of the simplest and cheapest changes any household can make with an immediate impact on the energy bill.
