Do you know what the average electric bill is for a home in the United States? That’s a very tough question to answer considering there are hundreds of variables involved. It obviously varies based on size of the home, location, cost of electricity per kilo-watt hour and much more.

According to Energy Star the “annual energy bill for a typical single family home is approximately $2,200.”

You may already know this but Energy Star also says the single largest portion of your electric bill is from heating your home. About 29% of your annual electric cost goes to keeping your home warm.
