This grant is open to all private residences built prior to 1980 and will pay up to $800.00 to assist the homeowner to convert from oil heat. In the same advertise- ment, it notes the $500.00 C.H.ILP. grant available for insulation as long as the house was built prior to 1961. This grant is to be eventually extended to all homes built before 1977. The ad also stated "the better the insulation, the smaller sized heating unit needed to switch from oil." The inconsistancy of the eligibility dates of these two programmes is a hardship to the consumer. Doing some comparable Thanks (From page 5) coverage you gave to our 75th Anniversary Banquet recently. We also appreciate your kindness in publishing the account of our monthly meetings which 'helps promote our efforts in the community. Yours truly, (Mrs. L.) Gwendolyn Malcolm, President pricing for gas furnaces, I found a 150,000 BTU furnace costs $1510.00 while a 105,000 BTU furnace costs $1255.00. A savings, then, of $255.00 could be achieved by installing the smaller unit in an equivalent sized house if it was re-insulated. The consumer who takes advantage of the $800.00 "off oil"' grant must either install an oversized furnace in a home not re-insulated or, in the = name of energy efficiency, install the smaller furnace and then wait for the insulation grant to be updated. This appears to me to be a case of having the cart before the horse. A common sense solution would be to update the C.H.L.P. grant now in order to have the two programmes work together. The $255.00 savings could then be applied to the cost of insulation. We have been told that it is cheaper to conserve a barrel of fuel than it is to produce it. Insulation has proven to be - the most significant factor to conserve energy. To change our heating system now and insulate later is to be penny wise and pound foolish. I suggest that our Govern- ment would be prudent to follow their own advice and "plan ahead for best savings." Updating the C.H.I.P. programme now is the logical step to take. Yours truly, Barb Weatherall Port Perry It was a happy day for Jim and Suzanne Konstantinopoulos [left] and partners Bill and Helen Agas [right] last Friday evening when they held the official opening of their restaurant, Dimitries Fine Foods.
