Home Energy Consumption Analysis

Your home’s energy usage impacts more than just your utility expenses. It affects the economy and the environment. At Northeastern Power, we power your home and give you relevant insights into managing energy consumption for smarter electricity use and a sustainable future.

Average Home Energy Use

In U.S. households, the typical home energy consumption is 899 kWh per month on average. Energy use varies across regions in the country and among housing types. Single-family detached houses and mobile homes often have the highest average annual consumption type among all types.

Factors Influencing Energy Consumption in Homes

Several factors affect the amount of energy you use at home, including:

• Type and size of the home.
• Number of occupants.
• Climate and geographical location.
• Number of heavy-duty appliances and electronic devices.
• Energy Factor (EF) of residential appliances.

What Appliances Use the Most Energy in a Home?

Your HVAC system is the home appliance that uses the most energy. The air conditioning, heating, water heating and systems consume more than half of your home’s energy. These appliances are energy-intensive, even if their usage is mostly seasonal. That's why monitoring your household’s energy consumption is essential for responsible power management and cost efficiency.

Other top energy consumers in a house include:

• Lighting fixtures
• Refrigerators
• Ovens
• Stoves
• Dishwashers
• Washing machines
• Clothes dryers
• TVs

Strategies to Reduce Home Energy Consumption

There are many quick, easy ways to reduce energy in the household. For example, you might be unaware that home appliances draw small amounts of power when turned off but are still plugged in. That’s known as vampire energy. Unplug electronic devices when not in use for energy conservation. Here are some other simple tips to manage power usage efficiently:

• Adjust the HVAC temperature through a programmable thermostat.
• Ensure proper insulation around your home.
• Choose energy-efficient appliances.
• Install LED bulbs.
• Maximize natural light.
• Use power strips.
• Consider sustainable energy solutions.
