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
per cent.
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.

system. At night, of course, closed drapes, blinds and shades will

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.
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 handiing of your heating system—ceal, oil, gas or elec-
