Examples: an electric toothbrush, sewing machine, or shaver average less than 54 a month each. On the other hand, a refrigerator or freezer runs much of the time during warm weather, so costs more to operate . . . but these appliances save a lot of spoiled food and trips to the store so you wont want to turn em off. But some of your appliances that use quite a lot of electricity can be given some time off Why? Because you can choose when you use washers, dishwashers, and dryers and other appliances that use quite a bit of power . . . and these add to the daytime demand for electricity Monday through Friday when business and industry also are using more power. This all adds peak load up to a daytime Monday through-Friday that goes especially high during July and August when work-savin- g -- many people also are using electric air conditioning to keep comfortable. To meet that peak load wehave to build new, more expensive power plants ...or buy extra electricity from more expensive sources to meet that short-terpeak demand. What can you do about H? You can help us hold costs down if you can postpone running some of your appliances until late evening or early morning-- or over the weekend. And you can turn your thermostat up a few degrees, cutting your power bill and helping us shave that peak load. Ask us about more ways to save electric energy. V ; ; i " |
