Use Range Wisely To Cut Costs Food brought to a boil and simmered with a cover cooiks as quickly as food boiled rapidly in an open pan, reminds Kath ryn Wooten, extension home equipment special ist, North Carolina State University. So, if saving energy is important to you, use range burners wisely. Once a liquid is brought to a boil on a “high” burner setting, reduce heat sitting to “low” or “simmer.” The food will maintain its temperature and continue to cook at the same rate, while using less energy, Miss Wooten explains. Using a cover on the pan will also 9help main tain food temperature and reduce evaporation. An 8-inch electric burner operates at 2,400 watts on “high,” 1,200 watts on “medium,” and only 180 watts on “low,” the specialist points out. Using the range wisely could mean savings to your family.

Care to find out how much higher? To begin diagnosing your home’s saving potential, you’ll need the following tools: a flashlight, a ruler, two thermometers, a screw driver and a candle. liljljfc*. ■%». J Insulating your attic can re duce fuel and energy waste by as much as 30%. First Stop-The Attic Since the roof or attic ac counts for a major per centage of a home’s energy waste, it makes good sense to begin the check up in the attic. Here the first thing you’ll want to check is the amount of insulation you have—or don’t have. Simply take your ruler and measure the thickness of the insulation you find. Don't be alarmed if you don’t find any. If your house is like 35 million others, built before 1960 when energy was cheap and plentiful, there’s a good chance that the attic has little or no insulation, or contains only three to four inches. If your house is newer, say built within the last 10 years, you co-ild find six or more inches. Insulating your attic is probably the best home energy-efficiency invest ment you can make. Even as little as just six inches of Fiberglas insula tion can save from SSO to S2OO a year in home fuel costs. Interior Living Spaces The next step in the en ergy-efficiency check up is to inspect interior living spaces for fuel waste. But before you walk away from the attic door, stop. Is the door tightly —sealed nrtrtnrd all four edges? To find out, light the candle and hold it near where the door meets the frame. If the candle flickers, you’re wasting fuel. Even a 1 /4-inch crack can cost you as much as $4.50 a year. Now, while you have the Storm windows can reduce heating and cooling energy waste up to 15%. _ candle, perform the same test on all other doors and windows between heated and unheated spaces. If the candle flickers, your doors - favor. The high scorers were Ken Long and Jimmy Hughes with 15 and 14 points. [ *** On Tuesday night, Janu ary 13, the Mountain Heritage Cougars played the West Henderson Falcons on their ~ homes court at Cane River. At one point in the game the Cougars led by 20 points, but the Falcons made a 31 point comeback to win 75-64. *** On Friday, January 16, the Cougars traveled to Sylva Webster only to be defeated by the Golden Eagles. Ken .. Long led the Cougars scoring with 20 points while Jimmy Hughes contributed 14. The final score was 62-63. *** The Cougar boys fell to a 6- overall record when the Enka Jets defeated them 101-84 in a non-conference game. Ken Long led Heri tage’s offense with 23 points. •** On Friday, January 23, the Cougars traveled to North Buncombe to defeat the Black Hawks in a 70-62 decision. The starters for the Cougar boys were Tony Byrd, Ken Long, Eddie King, Gary Winters, and Jimmy Hughes. Tony Byrd and Ken Long were high scorers with 20 and 19. The Cougars now have a 7- overall record and a 4-3 in the Little Mac Conference. and windows probably need weatherstripping and caulk ing. Weatherstripping comes in a variety of forms, rang ing from the more perma nent interlocking metal variety, to a wide selection of easy-to-install, flexible felt, foam and vinyl materi als. Weatherstripping should be applied around the pe rimeter of all exterior doors and around the inside of all window frames. Caulking should be ap plied outside around win dow and door frames, and to all corners or joints where wood and masonry, or metal masonry come together. By caulking and weather stripping your home, you’ll cut up to 10 percent annual ly off the fuel you waste. Storm Windows And Doors While you’re checking the doors and windows, you might want to give some thought to two other impor tant energy-saving improve ments—storm windows and doors. If you already have storm sash all around, take comfort in knowing that you’re using about 15 per cent less energy than you’d be using without them. Insulating Walls One of the best ways to avoid drafts and reduce your fuel waste still further is to insulate your walls. Here is a simple way to check the amount of wall insulation you have. On a cold day tape one ther mometer against an outside wall and the second in the center of the room. Four hours later, if the reading at the outside wall is more than five degrees below the one in the middle of the room, it’s a good sign your home needs wall insulation. Insulating walls is not a do-it-yourself job. It’s best done by a professional in sulation contractor who has the expertise and special pneumatic equipment to perform the work quickly and efficiently. Last Stop —The Basement The last stop on the energy-efficiency check up tour is the basement, an area that wastes more of your home’s—energy than you think. Be sure to check your furnace and central air conditioning unit. For maxi mum operating efficiency, Caulking and weather stripping help reduce drafts and eliminate up to 10% of a home’s fuel waste. these should be inspected regularly and maintained in accordance with the manu facturer’s instructions. Also, be sure to check the filters. During peak operating seal* * sons, they should bei changed at least once a month.
