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
g
Canadians acquired when oil
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•p
abundance of energy alterna-Insulation
0ultimately cheaper than oil.
The Canada Oil Substitu-.
tion Program (COSP), 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.source:
use by 1990.2242
• COSP is a 10 -year program
that offers grants of up to
$800 covering half the cost of
equipment 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
centrallyheated buildingResources
unit that contains two or more
self-contained dwelling units
can qualify for COSP grants
•ranging from $1,000 to S5,500.
