YOU'LL SAVE
MONEY BY GETTING
OFF OIL BECAUSE '
THE PRICE OF OIL IS —
ESCALATING, AND
WILL CONTINUE TO
DO SO. •
Heating with oil is a habit
C-ariadiansaequired-whemoil—
was plentiful and cheap. Today
sources of oil are unreliable' and
increasingly more expensive, so
we just have to kick the habit.
The habit won't be hard to
break because Canada has an
abundance of energy alterna,
tives that are plentiful and are
ultirriately, cheaper than oil.
The Canada Oil Substitu-,
, tion Program (COSI)), is a
major part of the federal govern-
ment's National Energy
Program. COSP is designed to
help reduce the use of oil
for home heating in every pro-
vince to no more than 10 per
cent' of total household energy
use by 1990. ^
COSP is a 10-year program
that offers grants of up to
5800 covering half the cost of
equip:tient and labour for
changing your space or hot
water heating system from oil
to natural gas, electricity,
propane or renewable energy
sources such as wood and solar.
The COSP grant is taxable.
The oil substitution of ,a
centrally heated building
unit that contains two or more
Can qualify for COSP grants
ranging from $1;000 tO-S5,500:

move off oil, the federal Depart-
ment of Energy, Mines and
Resources can help you:
• assess your home's energy
efficiency by means of a free__
compuTefized-Eiiiialie
questionnaire;-
• insulate your home under the
Canadian Home Insulation
Program (CHIP) which pro-
vides taxable grants of up
to S500. '-
Insulation is not a require-
ment of COSP, but it makes
sense to'have a well insulated
. home before you change your
heating system: The better, your
insulation the smaller-sized
heating system you'll need when
you switch off oil.
HOW TO APPLY FOR
YOUR GRANT
