Energy Conservation Could Mean Money In Pocket Many of us think we are doing our part for con servation when we flip the light off when leaving a room, but the energy we're not saving is hitting us right where it hurts most in the pocket book The cost of electricity, like everything else, has doubled over the last several years That doesn't account for an electric bill being four times what it was 10 years ago, but lifestyles have changed and the family who used an average of 500 kilowatt hours per month 10 years ago is now using more than 1,000 each month. Those time-saving ap pliances that have liberated women are eating up those kilowatt hours each month. But we can "have our cake and eat it too" if we use these time-saving devices wisely with less waste The hot water heater ac counts for the largest single portion of the electric bill in most homes Repair leaking faucets ? that drip may be costing you as much as $5 each month. Never let hot water ran constantly when washing dishes or hands Fill the sink with hot water than add determent Use the dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer for full loads only. If dry dishes are not needed im mediately, turn the dish washer off after the wash and rinse cycles and open the door slightly. Unless the clothing tag states otherwise, light and moderately-soiled clothing can be washed in cold water with special detergent. Cold water washing will mean additional savings. Always use cold water in the disposal.

Don't waste hot water when bathing ? take quick showers or limit the amount of water in the tub. Close the drain in the sink when shaving or washing hands and face Lower the thermostat setting on the water heater. 140 degrees is considered adequate with a dishwasher You may try a lower setting without one. Hot water heaters should be turned off if you're going to be gone three days or more Use small appliances, such as toasters and grills, for special cooking and save on use of range Prepare com plete oven meals for the greatest economy. Use flat bottomed pots and pans which fit range units and cook on the lowest possible heat Close the refrigerator or freezer door quickly as possible after use Defrost often as frosted-over refrigerator-freezers cost money Turn off the television when no one is watching it.
