For example, it you want to discontinue using your electric razor, energy shaving is not a valid reason Making coffee in a coffeemaker 1« wim use of energy. It’s mor« efficient than stove-top brewing. Likewise the electric frypan is generally more thrifty then range or oven. While it's best to wash only full loads, the electric dishwasher can use less hot water than some cooks use washing dishes in the sink. As we ve said in other ads, your greatest opportunity to save energy in the home is to insulate that home thor oughly. Include double windows and doors, weatherstrip ping and caulking. Save energy, too, by repairing leaking hot water faucets. A loss of sixty drops a minute is more than 100 gallons per month. Watch Idaho Power advertising for other common sense energy saving tips. Wo want to provid« th« electric energy you need for your comfort, convenience and good health. Use what you need, but use It wisely. Getting back to shaving, if switching to a blade adds a gallon a day to your hot water use, that’s more than fifty times the energy consumption of the electric razor.
