Tips

This calculator will provide you with estimates of energy use costs based on your inputs. The Annual and Monthly results are not intended to be extremely accurate, but rather, to provide a comparison platform to give you the differences between the energy your home is currently using ("Base House") versus various "Scenario" variations. After you run a few variations, be sure to click the View Annual and View Monthly buttons for different views. To go back to view the details of a "Scenario" variation, click on its number.

The Home Energy Calculator provides a starting point from which you can compare potential energy-saving measures. While the calculator uses actual Pittsburgh weather and electric rates (for customers who purchase their electric supply directly from Duquesne Light), it can only approximate your appliance use. Your actual monthly bill also is affected by personal lifestyles and behaviors that are difficult to factor into the Home Energy Calculator.
