Reddy Says: when winter As days get shorter, lights burn longer. ' Reddy knows that long, cold nights and sunless days can work him over time because everyone has just one idea—keep warm and comfortable. And he likes to help you do exactly that. But he also has a gentle reminder. Cold snaps call for more kilowatts than do summer months. The auto matic furnace runs practically all the time. Your electric water heater must heat water that comes into the home at a much lower temperature. More hot meals and in - between snacks are prepared on your electric range and small appliances. In fact you use more of just about everything electrical such as TV, lighting and electric space heaters. Naturally, the more Reddy works for you the more his services are re flected in your electric bill. However — when the weather’s roughest is when folks appreciate the comfort and convenience of electrical living. Take a peek around your home and then ask what else does so many things at such reasonable cost? It’s still the biggest bargain in the family budget. comes - you use more electricity.** ( CAROLINA POWER A UGHT COMPAN^
