lt 2AThe Barrie Examiner Tuesday Sept 28 I976 Introduction This supplement outlines many ways by which you can save energy in your home and car Some will produce much larger savings than others but remember even the little ones add up Some will require an investment on your part for instance insulation others are free such as night setback of the ther mostat or turning off lights Even those that require relatively large investment should for themselves in few years and thereafter return perpetual savings especial ly as energy costs rise Since heating is by far the largest energy consumer in the home usually accounting for over half of the total household energy budget lets look briefly at some possible enerml savings in this area Out of all the measures mentioned in this supplement furance maintenance insulation and temperature setback are probably the most significant Keep in mind that actual savings will vary according to your climate heating system house construction present amount of insula tion and fuel costs It is significant however to note that in this example annual fuel costs were cut from $300 to $165 saving of $135 By following any of the dozens of other measures related to heating systems appliances hot water lights cooling and outside equipment further energy savings and further cost savings can be easily achieved If one also avoids over packaging disposable products nd highly processed foods still larger 52 vings are possible Therefore quite apart from further energy and dollar savings related to the family car it is quite possible for many families to save more than $100 annually on home energy costs Some families could stretch these sav ings as high as $200 if they have large homes that are currently wasting energy In addition to financially reqarding the con sumer such savings will conserve Canadian energy sources for future use lower the tremendous costs or resource development reduce the eIIviIoIIImntnl impact of energy and hpr to plthltlt better quality of life for usull One point to watch If we are all going to save money by conserving energy we have to be careful how we spend the money If we tum around and spend it on highenergy pro ducts or activities such as second car heated pool snowmobile we might end up offsetting the energy savings we have made good conservation ethic means that we think about the likely energy implications of our purchase decisions Try to channel your conservation savings into lowenergy investments like paying off the mortgage further education music lessons or hobbies more healthy food or perhaps even donate it to your favorite charitable cause In short put your conservation dollars back into conservation Action Present Annual Saving Revised Fuel Cost Fuel Cost Furnace

check for leaks Efficient cooling saves on energy Take your car to your service station and ask the mechanic to give your car cooling system tuneup and hell probably look at you and scratch his head He knows about ignition tuneups but he might not know about the second tuneup cooling system tuneup Yet this procedure is vital part of your cars maintenance and one thats long overdue for most cars cooling system tuneup is thorough inspection and check of all the parts in your cars cooling system and replace ment of those components that are worn deteriorated or malfunctioning To understand the need for cooling system tuneup we must first look at the function of the system Simply stated the cooling system keeps your cars engine at the proper operating temperature which allows it to perform at top effi ciency An engine that runs too cool will burn excess gas run rough and may contaminate the oil with sludge buildup An engine that runs too hot may boil over and engine parts may fail To accomplish the task of Energysaving tips and illustrations courtesy of Energy Mines and Resources Canada Automotive material from Champion Spark Plug Company Insuunou msuunon for attics for walls keeping the engine at the cor rect temperature auto man ufacturers have developed the pressurized cooling system which allows special coolant not water to circulate through the engine where it picks up the heat being produced by com bustion This special coolant can be heated well above the boiling point of ordinary water without boiling over The super heated coolant is piped into the radiator where the rush of cool air carries the heat out into the atmosphere WE MAKE WARM FRIENDS And to supplement the above products and to accent the appearance of your home We have in stock top quality
