Cost Estimate Looks Wrong
Last updated: September 2, 2026
The in-app cost is an estimate from your electricity rate, not a copy of the utility bill. Tiered and time-of-use plans will not match line-for-line.
Set the rate
Manage Homes > select the Home > Edit Home > Electricity Rate, or thermostat settings > Electricity Rate on some baseboard models.
Enter the $/kWh from your bill. For tiered or time-of-use plans, use your average or most common rate — the estimate stays directional.
Each Home has its own rate. Changing one Home does not update another.
If the number still looks off
Wrong Home selected, or rate entered as cents vs dollars (0.12 vs 12).
Lite has no kWh measurement, so it cannot produce a measured energy cost chart.
Mini-split Insights convert runtime with the rate; they do not measure consumption.
For true billed cost, use the utility bill. Use the app to compare similar weather days after you change a schedule.
