What if my household doesn’t fit perfectly into one of the usage patterns?

That’s completely normal — the usage patterns are general references, not exact matches. Most households fall somewhere between examples, and your actual energy use will naturally vary based on usage, your lifestyle, family size, and habits.

The good news is that you don’t need to fit neatly into one category to benefit from these example, look at the individual scenarios within each usage pattern to find tips and strategies that apply to your situation and help you manage your costs.
