If you're moving into a new place, you can sometimes find out the average cost of utilities in that area by asking a landlord, apartment manager, or realtor. If you're renting, the landlord or manager may understand utility costs from other residents or may be able to connect you with someone currently living there. If you're buying a home, a realtor should be able to provide you with copies of the current homeowner's utility bills. What impacts the cost of utilities? These factors can affect the average household utility cost: Where you live: If you’re in a temperate climate, utilities won’t cost as much because there’s less need for constant heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. Your use of resources: Your average utilities cost depends on your use of electricity and gas.
