Top Energy-Saving Tips for US Households

These proven strategies can cut the average American's energy bill by 10-30% annually.

⚡ Electricity Tips

  • Switch to LED lighting — save up to $75/year per home
  • Use a smart thermostat and save 10-15% on HVAC costs
  • Unplug devices on standby — they use 5-10% of your bill
  • Run appliances during off-peak hours (nights/weekends)
  • In deregulated states: shop for a competitive electricity supplier

🔥 Natural Gas Tips

  • Have your furnace serviced annually — a tuned furnace is 10-15% more efficient
  • Set your water heater to 120°F — most people set it too high
  • Seal air leaks around windows, doors, and the attic hatch
  • Add attic insulation to R-38 or higher for cold climates
  • Use budget billing to spread gas costs evenly year-round

About Our Rate Data

Our electricity and natural gas rate data is sourced from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), which publishes comprehensive, monthly utility rate surveys for all 50 states. We also incorporate data from state public utility commission filings.

Rates shown are residential averages and represent typical conditions for a household consuming 1,000 kWh of electricity or 50 therms of natural gas per month. Actual rates vary based on usage tier, time of year, utility zone, and applicable taxes and fees.

Rate data is reviewed and updated quarterly. For the most current rates, always contact your specific utility or check your latest bill.
