HOME-HEATING
SAVINGS NOW
Looking for ways to cut. household operating ex-
penses? Trimming heating costs is probably the
most important single thing you can do. What's
more, there's no better time than now te prepare
your home and heating system for winter.
Here are some ideas. They nbt only can result in
year-after-year savings, but make your home more
comfortable, too.
Are you sure you have enough insulation?—
Adequate insulation in your home can reduce heat-
ing costs by as much as one-third. Even in homes
thought adequately insulated a few years ago, some
additional insulation, particularly in the ceiling,
may produce substantial savings. And, as shown
below, it's an investment that pays for itself quickly.

In addition to reducing fuel bills with a well in-
sulated home, you can also reduce your electric
bill. Don't forget, electricity runs the blowers or
pumps common to most all heating systems. When
they don't have to work as hard or operate as long,
you're saving both energy and maintenance costs.
Storm windows and doors can cut in half heat
losses through existing single glass windows. If
any glass panes are broken, now's the time to fix
them. If you don't already have storm windows
and doors, an investment in them should pay for
itself in less than 10 years.
Caulking and weatherstripping — Seal around
doors and windows while the weather is pleasant.
Remember attic doors, too. A 4" crack under a
3-foot door loses heat through 9 square inches.
Believe-it-or-not, just this small space can cost you
several dollars each winter.
HEATING SYSTEM EFFICIENCY TIPS
Warm air heating system filters should be clean for
good heat circulation. Clean or replace dirty filters
at least once a month during the heating season.
Blower motors on warm-air heaters or circulators
on hot water systems should be given a couple of
drops of oil unless the motors are the newer,
permanently sealed and lubricated types. Be care-
ful not to over-oil and use only the “oil"" lubrication
holes. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
Belts should be checked on warm-air sys-
tem blowers and adjusted if needed.
Heating ducts in unheated areas such as attics
and crawl spaces should be examined for leaks
and insulated with at least one inch of insulation.
Vents in attics or crawl spaces should be open.
Don't block them: your home could suffer damag-
ing condensation.
Clean registers, baseboard units or radiators. A
thin layer of dust can impair heat radiating
ability . . . vacuum cleaning can eliminate the
problem.
Call your serviceman early for any burner clean-
ing or tune-up work needed. %
Set thermostats bearing in mind you can reduce
heating costs by about 3% for each degree you can
lower the setting. Adjust or turn heat off in rooms
you don't regularly use.
Remove furniture or obstacles from in front of
heating outlets.
Each of these tips can, make a difference in
dollars to you. You can also add comfort to your
home and assure better performance of your heat-
ing system as well. Moreover, you'll be performing
another service. You'll be conserving fuel and
helping our nation achieve energy conservation
goals.
