Consumer electricity rates alune increased 14.8 percentin 1981 and are ex- pected to continue to rise annually ai a rate of 9 per- cent, according to Data Resources, Inc. The cost of natural gas - which jumped 20 percent last year - is also expected to increase as is the cust of home heating ail. Probably the single, mast effective means of saving on the cosîs of heat- ing and cooling a home is 10 add adequate insulation in walls, ceilings. and floors. Insulation is rated in R- values. These "R-values" measure the maîerial's ability to resist heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. The higher the R- value, the grealer the insu- lating power. Insulation G should'therefore be chosen bl by R-values and flot si inches. Generally speaking, R- 30 or R-38 insulation in at- tics, R-Il1 or R- 13 for walls and R- 19 for floors above cold spaces are the recommended levels for most parts of the United States. However, even higher R-values may be economically justified by fuel savings in colder sec- lions of the country. be .Savings vary.
