WattShed Pattern
Live, self-serveWhat the bill history says about this home, season by season.
Pattern reads a home's story out of its own bill history: whether winters or summers drive the usage, which months broke the home's own seasonal norm, and how much of every bill is year-round baseload no weather explains. When a county is chosen, the county's annual heating-and-cooling balance provides context for whether the profile is expected there. Monthly weather is deliberately not modeled, and no weather normalization is claimed anywhere: an anomaly is a month worth asking about, never a finding.
What it does.
Classifies the home's seasonal profile from its own bills: heating-dominant, cooling-dominant, dual-peak, or flat.
Flags months that broke the home's own norm for that calendar month, with the threshold stated.
Separates the year-round baseload and says when it dominates, because seasonal measures move it less.
Uses the county's annual degree-day balance as context only, and says so.
Runs in the browser on the history you load. Nothing uploaded or stored.
Who it is for.
Program staff triaging applicants
See in seconds whether a home's usage story matches the measures it is asking for.
Auditors preparing a visit
Walk in knowing which months to ask about and whether baseload or season drives the bills.
Utilities and public program administrators
Give outreach a defensible first read on a home without shipping bills to anyone.
How it works.
Load the history
Monthly kWh, ideally two years. It stays in the browser.
Read the profile
Season dominance, the home's own monthly norms, and the baseload underneath.
Ask about the anomalies
Months that broke the home's own pattern, listed with the size of the break.
What it does, and what it deliberately does not.
Pattern does
Reads seasonal structure from the home's own bills
Pattern does not
Does not model monthly weather or claim weather normalization
Pattern does
Flags anomalies against the home's own norms
Pattern does not
Does not treat an anomaly as a finding or upload anything
Availability.
The pattern check is live today as a public self-serve tool, no account required, nothing uploaded. Pattern reads wired into a live program's intake are arranged with WattShed directly.
