Analyze
Use the Bill Analyzer Tool to get a complete picture of how energy usage impacts your bill and find ways to use less and save money.
See a Breakdown of Your Bill by Cost and Hourly Usage
The Bill Analyzer provides a snapshot of your energy bill from all angles. With your personalized dashboard, you can quickly see your bill history, your current bill compared to one year ago and a projection of your next bill. You can even do a deep dive into your bill contributors and see a breakdown of how much energy you use for laundry, cooling, heating and lighting.
The Bill Analyzer dashboard also provides insights, such as average weather and billing period length, to explain contributing factors to your electric and gas bills.
Simulate
Use the Bill Simulator to see how changes you make to your home and energy habits could impact your next bill.
Try On a New Rate with Your Current Bill
Our Bill Simulator can help you decide if a different electric rate would work best for your household and lifestyle. Apply different rates to your actual energy usage to see how they could affect your projected total bill.
The Bill Simulator gives you the information you need before you switch rates.
See How Appliances and Other Changes Impact Your Bill
Whether you're buying a new refrigerator or switching to LED bulbs, the Bill Simulator tool shows how small changes can lead to big savings. The simulator gauge updates as you adjust your thermostat setting or change from an electric to a gas water heater to show you how much those changes save or cost you.
See — in dollars and cents — how changes can impact your monthly bill or yearly costs.
Estimate Your EV Charging Costs
Thinking about driving an electric vehicle or have one already? Our Bill Simulator tool makes it easy to compute your estimated electric costs when charging your EV at home during off-peak hours.
The tool takes into account how often you'll be charging at home and miles driven per week, so you can effectively plan your EV fueling costs. Additionally, if you're replacing a gasoline-powered vehicle, you can calculate total fuel cost savings per month.
Monitor
Visualize your home's energy usage data over one month or one year to see when and how you use the most energy.

The energy usage graph gives you the data you need to change your habits and maximize savings.
