Based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) 2020 data.
Note: Percentages represent share of total electricity consumption in a typical single-family home. Regional climate and home size significantly affect these proportions.
Heating and cooling alone account for nearly half (47%) of household electricity, making HVAC efficiency the single most impactful area for reducing energy bills.
At 14%, water heating is a substantial but often overlooked energy cost. Switching to a heat pump water heater or lowering the thermostat setting can yield meaningful savings.
Lighting at 12% has decreased significantly over the past decade as households switch from incandescent to LED bulbs, which use up to 75% less energy.
Electronics and media devices at 9% reflect the proliferation of TVs, computers, gaming consoles, and smart home devices in modern households.
