    Host a Powerware Party in your workplace, neighborhood, place of worship, or community organization.

    You’ve probably noticed that your electric meter is not read every month; for those months between meter readings, an estimate is calculated. Not having actual monthly readings will make it hard to determine whether or not you are saving energy compared to the previous month or year. You will have a more accurate picture for tracking your energy usage and savings when you have actual, not estimated, data.

    You can read your own meter each month and use the phone (call 1.800.255.3443 and say “meter reading”) or visit the Potomac Edison website to submit your information. Instructions for reading and reporting your electricity usage appear on your monthly billing statement.

    Try one of these tools to help you estimate how your household uses energy:

    Potomac Edison’s Home Energy Center Online Analyzer: This web-based self-service option presents you with home efficiency and conservation recommendations for managing your energy costs. Upon completion, you have the option of receiving a reward of four CFLs!

    The Energy Guide: provides a Fast Track and an In Depth Analysis of your energy use, providing you with pinpointed recommendations on what to do to begin saving energy now. You can also calculate how much money you can save by replacing appliances.

    ENERGY STAR® Yardstick: If you have five minutes and your last 12 months of utility bills, use the ENERGY STAR® Home Energy Yardstick to compare your home’s energy efficiency to similar homes across the country and get recommendations for energy-saving home improvements from ENERGY STAR®. You will also need to enter some basic information about your home (such as zip code, age, square footage, and number of occupants). If you don’t have your bills, contact your utility for a 12-month summary.
