ENERGY
WASTE WATCHER
This column will look at painless
ways of cutting down your fuel
and electricity bills at home. Have
any suggestions? Send them along
to the Energy Waste Watcher at
Information EMR, 588 Booth
Street, Ottawa KI A 0E4.
How many energy leaks are
there in your hot water tank and
piping? You might check out
these five key points:
1. Is the tank properly insula-
ted? Hot water stored in a tank'
gradually loses heat even if no
water is drawn. Newer water
heaters are equipped with insu-
lated tanks, thereby reducing the
1 amount of lost heat. If your
present tank is an older model
with little or no insulation, you
ban cut down on heat loss by
wrapping the exterior with a
layer of mineral wool or glass
fiber insulation.
2. Is the water heater in a cold
or drafty corner? Avoid instal-
ling the heater in a poorly heated
area. A corner of the basement
would be better than the garage,
for example.
3. Is the distance from tank to
taps more than 10 feet? In a new
home, have the water heater in-
stalled as closely as possible to
where water is needed. Water at
the tap takes a few seconds to
flow out at a uniformly hot tem-
perature because the hot water
cools travelling from tank to
taps. Too great a distance be-
tween the heater and the sink or
bath can cause a good deal of
energy waste. For example, a 10 -
foot rather than a 30 -foot pipe
can ,save you enough hot water
over a month for 10 showers.
4. Do your hot water pipes run
through a cool basement or
above a drafty window? If they
do and ° are uninsulated, wrap
them with insulating strips (made
of- glass fiber or mineral wool
and available from building sup•
-
ply stores) to cut down on need-
less heat loss.
5. Dripping taps? They are a
nuisance as well as a waste of
,hot water (arid money) . A leak
that can fill a teacup in 10 min-
utes can waste more than 1,500
gallons of hot water a year. And
add about $20 to your annual
Hydro bill. A new rubber washer
purchased at the hardware store
would stop the drip and make it
easier to turn the tap off.
By. the way, you don't need a
plumber's -certificate to change a
washer. Here's how:
First shut off the main, water
valve.
Wrap some adhesive tape around
the cap put.
Take off the handle by .removing
the screw.
Remove the cap ,nut with a
wrench by turning it counter-
clockwise.
Slip the stem out of the tap.
Replace the washer beneath the
stem.
Replace the stem, tighten the cap
nut, and attach the handle.
Remember: Even though hot
water is basic to our comfo%t it
is also a service that must be
paid for and uses up incredible
amounts of energy. Using hot
water when you need it is not
wasteful, but unchecked energy
leaks are.

In other words, the family doctor
provides comprehensive and contin-
uing care to the individual patient
within the family and community
setting.
Strange then, that many people
go about choosing a family doctor
with less care than they would bring
to selecting a plumber or a TV
repairman.
How do you find a good family
doctor?
Ur. W Gifford -Jones, in his help-
ful book The Doctor Game, says,
"Don't expect your fingers to find
the perfect doctor by wandering
through the Yellow Pages." He also
advises that it's a good idea to find
a family physician before you need
one.
If you're moving to a new loca-
tion - and Canadians, on e
average, do so once every four or
five years --r- ask your present doc-
tor to recommend one of his medi-
cal colleagues in + e place to which
you're going.
But, if you're starting from
scratch -- ask around in your; new
neighborhood. You can try the
local chapter of the College of
Family Physicians, or the switch
