does appear to be wrong, go outside
and read your meter.
Compare the kilowatt-hours
number with the kilowatt-hours
number on your bill, \Vjy? the meter

read again.
It' the numbers seem accurate

properly.
It" the number of watts used
seems to be accurate, but you feel
that you w ere overcharged for those

.figures to calculate it yourself. If
you come up with a different figure,
point this out to the utility com

Layers of clothing have proved
most e f f e c t i ve at keep i ng people
warm. Layers are especially impor
tant when you are less active.
For example, many North Car
olinians keep lap robes handy so
that the couch potatoes in the family
can remain toasty warm when
watching TV in the evening.
Another advantage of layering
is that a layer can easily be removed
if you get too warm.
So pile those layers on when
you are inactive, and peel them off
when you're working around the
house. You'll feel comfortable, and
you'll also be saving energy and
reducing the United States depen
dency on foreign oil.
In general, the following steps
are recommended for a homeowner
to reduce home energy consump
tion:
? Determine and record energy use
? Reduce air infiltration
? Insulate
? Reduce water heating cost
? Add storm windows
? Cool with whole-house ventilation
? Keep equipment in jmmkI working
