According to a recent study, New York is ranked as the best in the country when it comes to this.

The analysts at Wallethub, compared the states in order to determine the Most & Least Energy Efficient States.

Average U.S. families spend at least $2,000 on utilities per year, with heating and cooling of spaces eating up half of that bill. In 2018, the average consumer spent nearly $2,000 of motor fuel and oil.
