A lot of people in
Ontario are saving
energy right now..
Join your neighbours
and save some yourself.
DRAFT DEFENSE
A 1/4 inch crack along the
bottom of a door can leak
as much warmth as a hole
in your wall the size of
a baseball!
Caulking and weather-
stripping to plug heat
leaks are the best 'defenses
going-because these
measures save your , -
valuable energy (and ,/
money) from heating the ,/
great Canadian outdoors. You /
can find out more in "Draft Defense",
one of a series of brochures we've
published to help you save energy
While you're checking out those
gaps in your draft defense, you
might want to take a close look at
how your home's insulation
measures up for winter.
THE `11' FACTOR IN
KEEPING THE HEAT IN
There's no two
home,
there's nothing
like properly installed insulation.
Check out the "R" factor of your
home's present insulation, and
proceed from there.You may even
qualify for a CHIP grant that will
help you carry the cost of insulating.
As you size up your home's
insulation, don't forget to look at
your furnace with an eye to making
it more frugal with energy.
THE FRUGAL FURNACE
Regular maintenance and some
-( very simple steps are all you
need to make your furnace
more energy
efficient Have
your fuinace
checked and
serviced once
a year. Set the
thermostat
back a few
degrees. Check
your air filter
once a month
and replace as
needed. Make
sure heat
registers aren't
blocked by drapes or furniture-
use deflectors when registers are
under drapes. If you use electric
heat, vacuum your baseboard
heaters regularly.
There are a lot more helpful
furnace tips you can find out about.
But now, there are just a few words
to be said about keeping yourself
in hot water.

KEEPING THE HOT IN
YOUR HOT WATER
That steady "drip-drip" from
a hot water tap is more than
annoying One drip per
'second can send 175 gallons
of your hot water a year
down the drain.
Fixing that drip-
ping tap is usually
simple. There are
lots of ways you
can cut back on ?.
energy waste with
your hot water
supply-insulate
the tank and the
first few feet of the
.hot water outlet
pipe. Use your dishwasher only
when full. And there are many
more ways to save!

energy under your roof by sending

future keeps on looking good.
And remember-winter's' coming!
Life is good, Ontario.
Preserve it. Conserve it.
