You may not have the option of making structural changes (adding storm windows, insulation, etc.), so you must find alternate methods of conserva tion. Try these methods to hold your electric bills to a manageable amount year-round: Watch the setting of your thermostat. Efficient operation can make a big difference in your energy use and the size of your bill. Set your thermostat at 78 degrees in the summer. Every degree below 78 degrees can add about 8 percent to your cooling costs. Set it at 68 degrees in the winter. Each degree above that can add about 5 percent to your heating costs. Turn off appliances, including televisions and stereos, when you leave the room. Always turn off small appliances such as electric hair curlers and dryers when they are not in use. Know what you want before you open the refrigerator door. Holding the door open causes the refrigerator to operate longer. Operate the dishwasher only when it is filled to capacity. Turn off lights when you leave a room. Every energy-saving ‘ 8 of North Carolina W CIVIL TRIALS sen determined in crimi court that he had^e improper turn.

Keep doors and windows closed when your air conditioner or heating system is running. You are paying to heat or cool the air — keep it inside. Add weatherstripping or caulk ing around windows and doors to stop drafts. It is an inexpensive measure compared to the savings you may realize. Use small appliances for food preparation rather than major appliances when possible. In winter keep blinds or draperies on windows open on sunny days to help heat your apartment. Close drapes at night to hold heat inside. In summer keep blinds or draperis drawn on sunny days to help keep heat out. The location of your apartment may affect your bill. For example, if your apartment is surrounded on three sides and above or below by other apartments, it will be better insulated than an end apartment because of less exposure to outside heat and cold. Because your lifestyle and energy-use habits play an important role in the size of your bill, your bill may vary considerably from your neigh bor’s, even though you may live in apartments of approximately the same size. Perhaps you are renting and the landlord pays the utilities. You should still practice good conservation habits. Although you may not feel the money pinch of utility costs, we should all share the responsibility of saving energy for the future. An efficient motor oil can help you save fuel and money.
