The Rural Voice, 1989-11, Page 19HOW TO SAVE
ON YOUR WINTER
HEATING BILLS.
HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO.
Set back your thermostat
Use less heat if you can and set the thermostat back when
you go to bed at night or when you're away from home for
a while. You'll still get a good night's sleep and dream of
the savings you'll be making.
Insulate
Insulation saves energy and money. Check your
attic and make sure that all windows and doors
are well weather-stripped to eliminate heat leaks.
This will also stop cold drafts - making you more
comfortable.
Pre -heat check
Before the heating season, have your heating
system serviced and new filters installed.
HERE'S WHAT WE CAN DO FORYOU.
Consider electric heat as a replacement for your old furnace.
The electric heat pump
The electric heat pump is highly efficient and a real energy miser. And there's an added
bonus, it cools your house in summer. It's one of the most economical ways to heat and
cool any home.
The electric furnace
You may also consider the electric furnace. It's compact,
economical and provides gentle, even warmth ... and you
may be able to use your existing duct work with only minor
modifications.
There are many electric heating systems available to suit
all kinds of houses. Give us a call and we'll be glad to provide advice and help you
find a contractor.
