Terms of use

What the site is

makemesustainable provides free calculators that estimate home energy costs, savings, and household carbon footprints from published data sources and the figures you enter. How each number is produced is documented on the methodology page.

Estimates, not quotes or advice

Every figure the calculators produce is an informational guide, nothing more. In particular:

• Not a quote or a bill.Estimates are built from average published rates and typical appliance figures. Your utility's actual tariff, fees, and taxes will differ. Always confirm real prices with your utility or supplier.
• Not professional advice. Nothing on this site is financial, tax, legal, or engineering advice. For decisions such as electrical work, heating system changes, or major purchases, consult a qualified professional.
• Not a guarantee of savings. Savings figures describe typical outcomes reported by the cited sources. Your home, climate, and usage will produce different results.

Information accuracy

We build the calculators on published data sources and refresh them on the cadence described on the methodology page, but published rates and factors change and figures on this site may lag their sources. We make reasonable efforts to keep the data current and correct, and we fix errors when they are reported.

Your use of the site

You agree not to:

• Scrape or copy the site's content in bulk.
• Present the site's estimates as official quotes, certifications, or endorsements.
• Use the site to distribute malware, spam, or unlawful content.

Intellectual property

The makemesustainable name, written content, calculators, site design, and code belong to the site's operator. You may share and link to any page. You may not republish the site's content without written permission.

The underlying public data (for example, government energy statistics) belongs to its publishers and is credited on the methodology page. Citing a government source identifies where a figure comes from; it does not mean that source endorses this site.

No warranty

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy, availability, or fitness for purpose of the site or any estimate it produces.
