AWARI of theenergy situation. and it's easy to say, "Well there's nothing 1 can do about It." Wrong. There's plcnt' that each one of us On do in our homes and apartments to help Canada -- and save as much as $100 a year. When we save energy . wc• also save money. This new hook is full of ideas you can apply to heating, cooking. air conditioning, lighting, water heating And it's written simply, with diagrams and full instructions on how to fix tap washer, ,lirty fumhce, filters. gaps around windows and sot►n., Almost everything that has been written on home conservation is packed into this hook. And it's yours free. Here are a few of the ideas: Don't drown the beans WHEN you're cooking vegetables. use little water and cook only until they're tender. You'll save vitamins and flavour. Well-designed cook- ware, used on the proper settings. will also cpnserve energy. Try cooking the entire meal in the oven. or on one or two bumers. If you're lucky enough to have a dishwasher, don't use it until you have a full Toad. Do the same with your clothes dryer— and be sure to clean the lint filter after each load. • Saving enet\gy is often a gam! of pennies. but they all add up — and so do the savings for Canada. Do you really need a crushed -ice dispenser? A FROST -FREE refrigerator uses 50% more energy than a standard model. A crushed -ice dispenser is a big energy drain. And a self-cleaning oven uses 20% more energy than a standard model. Ask yourself how many of these extras you really need. When you go shopping for a new appli- ance — refrigerator. dishwasher, range, dryer, washing machine — look beyond the price tag. What's the energy cost of running it? Often the better -built, more expensive model is also more energy-efficient. A better buy in the long -run. Five ways to save on home heating HEATING is the biggest item in a family's home energy budget. Here are a few simple ways to save: Lower the thermostat. Each degree over 68 adds about 21/2% to your heating bill. By dropping the setting from 72 to 70 you can save 5%. Dropping it from 72 to 68 will save 10%—about $30 a year. It helps t� lower the temperature further at night, and when you're going to be away from home for a few days. Check your furnace filter. A dusty, clogged filter forces the system to work harder, and wastes energy. Inspect it every 30 days. (The book shows you t how.) An annual or semi-annual furnace cleaning can save you another 10%. ' How's your insulation? Many Canadian homes have inadequate insulation. Ceilings should have 6"or more of min- eral wool or glass fibre insula- tion. Wall cavities should be completely filled. Basement walls should also be protected to 2 feet below grade level. To avoid fire hazards, don't use foamed plastic insulation in exposed applications. • Use storms and weather-stripping. Storm windows and doors will reduce heat loss in winter by up to 15%. Weather-stripping is a must. A tiny gap of t/a" along the r bottom of a door is the same as having a 9 square -inch hole in your living -room wall. 100 ways to gave energy and money in the home explains how to weather-strip joints and caulk the frames of windows and doors. Let the sunshine in. Energy from the sun is free, so it makes sense to use as much of it as we can. In the winter, open curtains and drapes during the bright part of the day and close them at night, for their insulating value. In summer, do the opposite. Drip, drip, drip, drip ONE DRIP per second froma leaky hot water faucet or shower -head sends about 175 gallons a month down the drain. That's money down thddrain. You can probably fix it your- self with a new washer and a few minutes work. Be sure the size of your water heater matches your needs. Don't set it for more than 140 degrees, and°turn if off when you go on vacation. Have you tried a cold -water wash for clothes? It usually works just as well. Remem- ber, too, that your average shower bath uses only 5 gallons of hot water, while a tub bath takes almost 10 gallons. Could you use an extra $100 a year? These are just a few of the many, many ways to save energy and money in the home. It's well worth doing. By making modest energy savings now, we can improve our environment and way of life far into the future. Send in the eappon for your free copy of "100 ways to save energy and money in the home." a.
