Electric Water Heater
Takes about 30 minutes!
* Only about $10 worth of materials!
Smart move. Wrap a blanket of 312” ~thick insulation around your
electric water heater. Because it reduces heat loss through the tank
Jacket, it saves heating energy. You'll save about $20 worth of
electricity each and every year.
It’s fast, easy and inexpensive. A roll of ordinary household
insulation (R-13), some duct tape, scissors and a pair of old work
gloves should do it.
For more information, call or write PP&L. Ask for our free folder on
how to insulate your electric water heater. Safety note: If your water
heater is not electric, check for advice from your fuel supplier
before attempting to insulate it.

Don’t beat your poor little tree
It’s not a good idea to try
to ‘‘Help”’ your shrubs and
trees by knocking the ice
off of them. This can break
the plants. Even if they
look like they are weighted
down by the ice and snow,
leave them alone. Would
you want someone beating
you if you were encased in
ice? Probably not.
