What is the average electricity usage per household?

The average electricity usage per household can vary based on several factors, including the size of the home, the number of occupants, and regional climate. Generally, in the United States, the average annual electricity consumption for a residential customer is about 10,600 kilowatt-hours. This translates to an average monthly usage of approximately 883 kilowatt-hours. In Northern Nevada, the usage may differ due to factors such as weather conditions, local energy efficiency practices, and household appliances. It is important to note that seasonal variations, such as increased air conditioning usage during summer months, can lead to fluctuations in monthly consumption. Households that prioritize energy efficiency through better insulation, energy-efficient appliances, and smart energy practices can often reduce their electricity usage significantly.
