November 22, 1983 Hydro up from last year Roads committee to look at parking lot changes (From page 1) last year was 6.4 per cent which makes the two year increase (1983-84) work out to an average of 8.05 per cent. He went on to explain that another reason why the Commission's reserve fund has to be bolstered this coming year is because of the unseasonably mild winter in 1983. There would be a Commission at the rate of "'peak load." "Quite simply, we got clobbered by the mild winter" (last year) said Mr. Dejeet. Despite the 9.4 per cent increase for 1984, Mr. Dejeet said customers with the Scugog Commis- sion will still be paying less per 1000 kw/hours of power than neighbouring municipalities. The Scugog rate for 1000 kw/hours, works out to $43.85 compared with $46.85 in Uxbridge; $47 in Newcastle and $45.23 in Oshawa. The Scugog Hydro Commission was former- ly called the Port Perry Commission and pro- vides electricity to residential and commer- cial customers within the village of Port Perry. Rural residents and those in the hamlets of the Township, including Prince Albert receive their power directly from Ontario Hydro. The Scugog Township council roads committee will take a look at several proposed changes to the municipal parking regulations around the Latcham . Centre on Water Street in Port Perry.

If that oil fur- nace is still in good shape, you can take advantage of converting to a dual energy heating system. Instead of replacing your fur- nace, introduce it to an electric plenum heater, heat pump, elec- tric boiler or baseboard heaters. These dual energy systems let oil and electricity work in harmony to heat your home more effi- ciently and more economically. Operation is simple. The electric system works until the coldest winter days, then your oil furnace automatically takes over. In most cases, add-on elec- tric heat will reduce oil con- sumption by up to 75%. Even more in some cases. And a reduc- tion of that magnitude can make a dramatic difference to the total cost of heating your home. The Plenum Heater The "plenum" is the warm air chamber at the top of your forced; air oil furnace. That's exactly In TITER? ity, oN (> (3 where a plenum heater is installed. So that on most days, the fan circulates more economical, electrically generated heat. The Heat Pump Even on cold winter nights, there is still warmth in the outside air. Just like a refrigerator, the heat pump extracts that warmth and pumps it into i" your home. Plus thére's an added bonus. In the summer, your heat pump works in reverse and becomes a central air conditioner: ~The Electric Boiler If you have an oil fueled hot water heating system, there's another alternative. You simply add an electric boiler. It's no bigger than a small suitcase and can be easily - installed. -- " --~ TTT CL Baseboard Heaters Electric baseboards can also be used as a dual energy system. They're installed in individual rooms to quietly handle most of the heating load. The Time is Right Today is definitely the time to in- vestigate the savings of intro- ducing your oil furnace to an add-on electric system. The COSP (Canada Qil Substitution Program) grant will pay for half of the installed cost or $800, whichever is less, on all systems where oil consumption is reduced by 50% or more. To find out more about the benefits of a dual energy system, contact your local Hydro or elec- tric heating contractor today and ask them about special assistance that could lead to even greater savings. And tell your furnace to get ready for a warm and mean- ingful relationship this winter. Ray Penney says park- ing tags have been issued against cars there in the parking tickets issued over the past 30 days. Building permits near *10 million (From page 1) 1983 compared with last year (from $490,000 fo $273,000) a lot of people have been doing some: work around the house as permits for additions and alterations have sky-rocketed this year to $761,000, up from $435,000 last year.
