How rnuch ofyour heating dollar
is going up in smoke?
Get your furnace in shape for winter —
so you can be both warm and a little
richer, You'll cut your fuel bill by as much
as 25%, and help to conserve Canada's
fast -dwindling energy reserves:
S A NATION we waste more energy than
some countries consume in total. We're on
an energy binge that we can no longer afford.
Modest cut-backs now will be easier to face
than shortages and even higher prices in a few
years time.
For every $100 you spend on energy at home,
more than half of it goes into heating. So your
furnace is a great place to start saving.
1
Check the efficiency
of your oil furnace.
Is your oil furnace working at top efficiency?
Find out:
Look for a dirty flame. Lift the flap that covers
the small hole on the front of your furnace. If
you see black smoke coming from the tip of the
flame, your burner needs adjustment. Call the
serviceman.
Inspect for soot. Shut the furnace off and poke
a flashlight inside the box. An accumulation of
soot means it's time for a service call.
Check the barometric damper. This valve
between the furnace and chimney bumps open
and shut as the wind blows and as the furnace
cuts in and out. If it sticks in any position, you're
wasting energy.
2
Put your serviceman
to work twice a year.
A thorough oil furnace check-up in summer and
mid -winter can cut as much as 25% from your
fuel bill. (If you have a gas furnace it should be
checked once a year.)
Remember, it will take your serviceman about
two hours to do a good job on an oil furnace
(somewhat less on gas).
He should remove soot from the firepot, heat
exchanger and pipes; check the stack temper-
ature: perhaps try an oil nozzle 10% to 20%
smaller (or the lowest firing rate recommended
for your furnace).
If you're paying for a complete check of the
furnace and heating system, make sure you get
it. Start by reading The Billpayer's Guide to
Furnace Servicing.
This free book explains everything that you
and your serviceman should do to save fuel and
money. (See coupon below.) It has a complete
oil and gas furnace checklist, and a calculator
for determining overall furnace efficiency.

Lower your thermostat.
Dropping your setting from 7210 68°F will save
about 10%. If each of us saves 10%, Canada
will conserve 8 million barrels of oil and 24
million cubic feet of natural gas each year.
It's time to pay the piper.
We can't live in the future as we do now. The

resources simply won't be available. Here _are
two facts to ponder:
• If we continue to consume at our present rate
of increase, Canada will need twice as much
energy in 12 years.
• The capital costs of developing new sources
of energy will soar to $110 billion over the next
10 years—an investment of about $20,000 for
each Canadian family.
It's no longer a matter of choice. We must
save energy to save ourselves.
