Bank on cutting fusel
overhead with insulation in
your attic
this winter
You can put $250 In the
bank and earn for the
year compound interest of
8.5 per cent or $17.03 on
your money. Or you can
invest that same $250 in
your attic and earn up to
$90 in one year. That's 36
per cent interest or more
than five times the bank
°rate. What's the secret?
Insulation. Just six inches
of fiber glass insulation.
Energy experts at the
Home Institute of Cer-
tain -teed Products Cor-
poration, Valley Forge, Pa.,
report that homeowners
around ,the country can
save up to 30% on their
heating and cooling bills,
just by having six inches
of insulation overhead. In
a 1400 -square -foot home,
the national average for
savings on heating bills is
over $60, For cooling bills,
it's $35 or more. This as-
sumes that the home has
some insulation in the at-
tic already.
For those homes ... and
there are some 23 million
of them, which have no
insulation in the attic, the
savings jump to over $100
and $75 or more respec-
tively . . on the average.
These heating and cool-
ing savings are directly re-
lated to the amount of in-
sulation in the attic, the
severity of the weather in
your area, and the style of
tour home. But, as a rule
of thumb, you can expect
insulation to pay for .it-
self in approximately two
years if you add insulation
to an uninsulated home.
Utility bill savings after
that are better., than mon-
ey in the bank.

tion on reducing heating
and cooling bills, write for
the Old Farmer's Almanac
Home Insulation Guide. It
outlines expected utility
savings for homeowners in
115 U.S. cities, and pro=
vides homeowner hints for
installing attic insulation.

The toll summer's sun had
taken on the roof and other
exposed parts of your house
often becomes painfully evi-
dent when the sharp winds,
snow and ice of winter arrive.
The time to forestall costly
repairs under adverse condi-
tions is to check potential
trouble spots before then.
Check for existing or po-
tential leaks under and on the
outside of the roof and -other
places where moisture and
cold air could enter.
Check roof valleys, chim-
ney flashing, vent sleeves,
eaves, gutters and down-
spouts. The seals around air
conditioners, ventilators,
window and door frames,
joints and points where pipes
enter should also be on your
winterizing checklist.
