Higher Electric
Bills Experienced'
. If your electric bill; is ' higher
in the winter, fewer daylight
hours are only one reason, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
reminds homeowners, v;
Using five 100-watt bulbs for
two. extra hours a day will up
your bill slightly, but it's the
other electrical units you use in
winter that account for most of
the increase, according to the
USDA's Rural Electrification Ad
ministration, v
; The blower on your furnace
probably uses about 40 . kilowatt
hours a month . and Its electric
control another 8. And if you
use a, 1200-watt electric heater,
you'll be adding on another 200
to 400 KWH.
, Now that the weather keeps
you indoors, . you're probably
spending more time watching
television. ; An extra nour of TV
I viewing each'day. might consume
an aciaiuonaj iuu K.wtt a monwi.
Operating : your oven during
the day and electric blankets at
night will consume even more
electricity in the winter months.
All of this could increase
your electric bill as much as $7
a month, December through
March.
