TPP ON HOW YOU CAN ETCH
•CANADA'S ENERGY RESOURCES
AND PUT MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

Cotzinotass Genial
WE'RE. A1.1. 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.
