aVs Money You’re Wasting!
Here are same other money-wasters:
When you install weather stripping improperly.
it's expensive to spend money on insulation, then let cold air in
through cracks around windows. Weather stripping and caulking
will do the trick.
When you leave fireplace dampers open,
even slightly.
Heat can find its way quickly to an open chimney. Keep it in with a
tightly closed damper when fireplace is not in use. Savings can be in
the 5 to 10 per cent range of annual heating costs.
When you block heating units.
Blocking radiators, registers or electric baseboard heating units with
furniture or drapes prevents the even circulation of heat. Keep them
clean and free of all obstructions.
When you heat unused rooms.
With systems having room-by-room controls, you can make sub
stantial savings by turning down the heat and closing the doors to
rooms or areas not used regularly.
When you fiddle with the thermostat.
For all rooms in regular use, once you have found your ideal comfort

WHEN YOUR HOME IS UNINSULATED.
Escaping heat is expensive so be sure that every escape route is
insulated: put six inches in the attic and three in side walls... and
don’t forget crawl spaces. For an uninsulated home, putting six
inches of insulation in the ceiling of a typical one-story house with
1,500 sq. ft. of ceiling could reduce heating costs as much as 30
percent.
WHEN YOU HAVE NO STORM DOORS OR WINDOWS.
Installation of storm windows and doors in an average home can
reduce heating costs as much as 15 per cent.

level, leave the thermostats) alone for most effective operation. If
you wish to turn thermostats down at night purely for comfort’s
sake, fine, but this will not necessarily provide great savings, de
pendent on the thermal characteristics of your system. Ask your
heating contractor for recommendation.
When you close your drapes
to solar heat.
Make the sun your ally—open drapes and blinds on the sunny side
of the house to let solar heat take some of the heating load off your
system. At night, of course, closed drapes, blinds and shades will
help keep heat in.
When your furnace filters are dirty.
Check the filters at least once a month because dirty filters make
your system work harder. Clean filters mean cleaner air flowing
through your home, too.
The dwindling supply of all types of heating fuels has become a matter of
growing concern as well as a major reason for an upswing in heating
costs. Proper handling of your heating system—coal, oil, gas or elec
tric-can help offset such increased costs and slow down the depletion
of our fuel resources.
