Is your bill higher than this?

Utah bills ran highest in July, about $170, and lowest in April, about $79. Air conditioning does most of the work in summer. If yours is well above $104 in a mild month, your rate, an older air conditioner or the size of your home are the usual reasons.

Homes here use about 780 kWh a month, 11% less than the U.S. average of 870 kWh, and pay 13.32¢ per kWh, 26% lower than the U.S. average of 18.01¢, so both the price and the amount used keep bills below the national average.

Only about 13% of homes here heat mainly with electricity; most heat with natural gas or other fuels, which keeps winter electric bills down, according to EIA's 2020 home energy survey.
