Since the price of almost every thing is going up, it probably seems that every bill you gel is a baek-bieaker. Now there’s not much you can do about most bills, but there are things you can do that will cut down on the bill we send you every month. WhereThe Money Goes. The sample bill above splits up the electricity you use in winter. How much of this you can save depends on how hot and how cold it gets, where you live, the number of people in your family and just how many or your services are electric. But the fact is, almost everyone can save something. How Much Vmi Spend On Heating Is UplblKNi. With the weather getting colder, naturally, your heating bill is going up. But you can keep it from going up too much if you will check out these things around your home. The insulation. (If your house isn’t insulated to the minimum FHA standards you could be paying 23% more than you have to for heating!) The storm windows and doors. (If you don’t have them, you could be paying ^ to 15% more.) Tne temperature in your home. (For every degree over 70 that ytni heat your house, you pay about 5% mt>re. In other words, the dinerence between 70° and 74° can he 20% of your heating hill.) Of course, it will cost you some money to do some of these things. However, when you consider the part of your bill that goes for heating, and what you can save out of that, you can see it’s an investment that will more than pay for itself in a few years. A Lot Of Hot Milter Is Wisted. Hot water is something that most of us take for granted. It may surprise you that electric water heating as shown in the sample bill costs about $60 a year. But, if you’ll just try to keep these suggestions in mind, you can save your self st>me of those dollars. A dishwasher uses 10 gallons of hot water every time you use it, so be sure you use it for full Icxids only. If you have a garbage disposer, use only cold water. It actually works a lot better that way, and it costs a lot less than hot water. A long, leisurely shower takes 10 to 12 gallons of hot water, so you can cut down by taking faster showers. (And always enct)urage everyone U) take showers, since it takes more hot water to heat a tub in the winter.) If ytHi let the hot water run when ytui shave, ytui use abtuit six gallons. But if you just fill the sink half way, you’ll .sjive over 700 gallons of hot water a year. Am these may seem like little things, but consider this: Every [XTSon in the average family u.ses 12 gallons of hot water a day. And, if everybody cuts down a little, it can make a big difference in what you spend for water heating. There Are So Many WiysTb Save. Wve Written A Bo^ About It. Heating and hot water are just two places you can cut down. There are a lot more, and we’ve written a booklet about all of them. It’s up-dated from last year’s book, and it’s full of information on how to save on your electric bill. For your free copy, just write Carolina Power &. Light Co., Box 1551, Raleigh, North Carolina 27602. Or pick up one at your CP&.L office. WhyAreWe Doing All This? We honestly want you to save on your electric bill, simply because we think you’ll feel better knowing that it’s as low as possible. And there's another very good reason for our doing this. Tlie demand for electric power doubles every seven years in this area. Naturally, this nuts a tremendous demand on the natural resources used to make electricity. So, if everybody makes an effort U> cut down on the unnecessary use of electricity,it can be a big help in conserving this country’s natural resources. At Carolina Power and Light,we want to sell you all the electricity you need. But we dem't want to ■ ' sell you more thari you need. vl^lCUL
