Thursday, December 30,1982 Tips To Help Reduce Heating Costs /WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.- Do your heating bills leave you with a slow burn? An industrial energy manager says some simple homeowner energy tips can reduce those bills by 40 per cent or more. Richard H. Cooper, energy manager of R. J. Reynolds In dustries, Inc., helped save his company more than $33 million in energy costs during 1981.* Cooper plans and manages long-term energy conservation programs, minimizing energy use today While planning for the future. Cooper says an energy “audit” is as essential at home as in industry, and the same principles apply. The audit identifies how and where energy is.being used in order to pinpoint where it is being wasted. , “As much as 70 per cent of residential energy is used to heat or cool our homes,” Cooper says, “so this is where the most energy can be saved.” . •, To conduct an energy audit in your home, take an inven tory of things that affect temperature, Cooper says. This winter, he suggests: •Tune and set heating units properly and operate only when needed; maintain units to keep them in good condi tion. A dollar spent on maintenance will often return $2, $4 or more. '•Feel for air cracks around dobrs and windows. Seal by weather-stripping or by using a high quality cauking. •Consider installing storm windows. They keep cold air out and warm air in and can . be made inexpensively with sturdy plastic. •pheck insulation throughout the attic and base ment.

Look for missing insulation and be sure to insulate spaces around pipes and fixtures connected to the outside. •Set the thermostat bet ween 65 and 68 degrees during winter days and 55 to 65 degrees at night. Each degree less than 70 represents about a l-to-3 per cent cost savings. “Rejnember, an electric blanket is a big energy saver, costing about SI.BO a month to use,” Cooper adds. •Use firplaces efficiently. “Fireplaces may be aesthetic but they are not generally energy efficient. They pull as much as 80 per cent of the warm air out ot the room and up the chimney,” Cooper ex plains. “It’s best to use the fireplace in cool or mild weather, rather than in cold.” •Lower the temperature of your hot water heater. “The hot water tank is one of the biggest users of energy in the home, accounting for about 15 per cent of your bill,” Cooper says. Consider setting the temperature between 120 and 130 degrees depending upon your hot water needs, he says. “If you feel heat when you touch the tank, add an inex pensive insulating blanket to reduce heat loss. Be sure to insulate hot water pipes in unheated areas. Don’t leave a water leak alone -a leak of one drop of hot water every second wastes 5,000 gallons of water and more than S4O in energy per year.” •Keep the furnace filter clean and change periodical ly. “I check my filter at home every month,” Cooper says. •Make sure furniture is not blocking vents. •Keep draperies open dur ing the day to let in sunlight. Close at night to maintain household heat. •Use full loads in dishwashers and washing machines. •Turn off unnecessary lights. “There is an increasing em phasis on energy conserva tion programs as costs rise,” says Cooper. “For more infor mation, most utility com panies today can offer in dividualized, professional ad vice on how to keep your energy bills low.” Sturgeon can live up to three hundred years.
