October 15, 1975 EER -WAYS ~ T0 CUT HOME HEATING COSTS ...INO matter how you heat your home! Energy is money. Big money as far as home heating is concerned . . . whether it's by oil, gas, electricity or coal. So, here's how to save. Seven ways, starting now. 7 vd INSULATE! Insulating an uninsulated home can reduce fuel bills up to 50 per cent. Even if you have insulation, do you have enough? Fact is, today's high- er energy costs often justify adding more. Your insulation should be at least 3'2 inches thick in the walls and 8 inches thick in the attic. ADD STORM WINDOWS AND DOORS | Storm sash and doors can cut heat lossés through windows and doors in half. And, just like adding insulation, this is an investment that can pay for itself. SEAL THOSE CRACKS 1 “Z7| Don't throw heating dollars to the wind. Caulk or weatherstrip for a "tight seal around windows, doors and foundation sills. MAKE DRAPERIES FUNCTIONAL Insulated drapes help hold heat in, cold out. Draw your drapes at night . . . open them on sunny days to take advantage of heat from the sun. An Energy Saving Message From USE YCUR FIREPLACE WISELY > Don’t let household heat go up the fireplace chimney. Always make sure the damper is closed when not in use. Also, don’t use your fireplace to help heat your home if the difference between in- side and outside temperature is more than 30 degrees. If you do, you may lose more heat from your house than you gain from the open fire. ADJUST THAT THERMOSTAT Set thermostat no higher than 68 degrees during the day and lower it a few degrees at bedtime. Generally, for each degree you can reduce the setting you'll be saving about 3 per cent. Also, if you can, lower heat or turn it off in rooms seldom used. KEEP HEATING SYSTEM IN TIP-TOP SHAPE Lf With warm-air heat, clean or re- place furnace filters at regular intervals. Some blower motors or water circulating pumps may require a drop or two of oil at the start of each heating season. Vacuum-clean registers, baseboard units or radiators. Even a thin layer of dust can impair heat radiating ability. For top efficiency in fuel-fired systems, don't forget the recommended cleanings and adjustments by your serviceman. Remember, energy is money.
