CLEANING TIPS
There are many ways to
save energy (and money,
too) when you think about
it. In these days when
getting “Maximum mile
age” from our energy re
sources is so important,
everyone should do what
ever they can.
Here are a few savings
ideas. Remember, “top
efficiency" is the key to
conservation.
★ Clean heating registers, base
board units or radiators. Even a
thin layer of dust can impair
heat radiating ability ... a
simple vacuum cleaning can
eliminate the problem. Clean
or replace furnace filters fte
"j quently, too, during the heat
•- mg season.
★ Vacuum ctean refrigerator coils
making sure compressor motor
is dirt- and dust-free. Some
coils are exposed on the back
of the units access to
others is through a removable
panel on the front at floor level.
Clean at feast once each year.
||
★ Clean lighting fixtures Dirty
lamps and fixtures can reduce
light output as much as 50%.
Once globes, etc. are clean,
try using a lower wattage bulb,
particularly in fixtures which
provide only general lighting.
Look for additional savings
