What to know about the Arizona numbers

  • Some average prices. 64% of Arizona ZIP codes here are priced on a current utility tariff; the rest use the utility's average price from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (about two years old). Each utility page says which.
  • Time-of-use rates. 3 utilities' tariffs here charge different prices by time of day. We assume heating and cooling use is spread evenly across the day, which can be off if most of yours falls in peak hours.
  • Regional fuel prices. EIA doesn't publish a Arizona price for every fuel: propane uses the national average and heating oil uses the national average. Enter your own price if you heat with it.
