Read energy claims carefully (Continued from Page B 31) percent savings in heating costs for foambacked aluminum siding are common, yet the Department of Energy estimates this type of siding saves only 5 percent of your home heating costs. • Furnace burners: some ad vertisements for energy efficient furnace burners claim a savings from 30 to 65 percent, depending on the overall efficiency of your burner. But consigners should not expect to achieve these savings. The Brookhaven National Laboratory found furnace burners improved the efficiency by 12 to 25 percent over conventional burners, depending on a whole list of other factors. • Storm windows: up to 45 percent fuel saved... can cut heat loss up to 50 percent... can increase the R-value of your single windows up to four times... but established tests to make claims comparable don’t exist. Standard engineering tables indicate that only about twice the R-value is possible with a double pane window with one fourth inch air space. The savings in total house heating costs for one type was only about five percent in Department of Energy tests. • Wood burning appliances: claims of efficiency range from 76 to 83 percent and 100 percent use of energy from your wood have been made but are difficult to sub stantiate. Officials in a wood stove testing program showed airtight units are only 40 to 60 percent ef ficient at best.

These are the insects that get into the dry plant products stored in kitchens. Although often com monly referred to as weevils, most home food pests are larvae of beetles and moths. The first sign of a problem may be small caterpillars climbing the kitchen wall, occasional small moths fluttering around the house, a beetle or two in a drawer. Or it may be more obvious - a package of "wormy” pasta or "bugs” in the flour. The first step in controlling food pests is a check of all products that may become infested - flour, cereals, seeds, nuts, baking mixes, dried fruit, spices, chocolate are examples. Bird seed and dry pet food are frequently attacked. If you have trouble tracking the infestation, think about things in other places - decorations con taining plant materials, children’s ' bean bag" toys, flower and vegetable seeds - that could be sources of the problem. Get rid of infested materials Suspect products can be disin fested by freezing them for three or four days. Then thoroughly vacuum, clean and wash storage areas. They can be treated with an insecticide labeled for that pur pose. Wipe away excess spray, let the area dry, and cover shelves with paper before replacing food packages. Keep susceptible foods in tight glass, metal or plastic l freezer bags are good) containers until the insects are eliminated Pantry pests can be persistent, persistence may be required m getting rid of them.
