STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD i Senior Hot Line | (Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q. The winter months are particularly hard on senior citizens and other persons on fixed incomes, when paying utility bills. Does the state of Illinois have some advice on how to conserve on energy so that I can hopefully reduce the cost of my utilities? A. The state's Institute of Natural Resources has a pamphlet available at no charge to the public entitled, "156 Ways to Save Energy That Also Save You Money". The information concerns suggestions on how to conserve on energy generated through heating, cooling, food preparation and storage, water usage, automobile care and selection, lighting, yard and workshop habits and other means. Here are a few suggestions which the INR makes concerning energy conservation and heating: -Insulate floors over unheated spaces such as crawl spaces and garages. -Check to see if you have at least 6" (R-19) of insulation in the attifc. -Don't use the oven to quickly heat the kitchen. - Lower the thermostat an extra two or three degrees in the winter when entertaining a large group of people. -Keep doors to the outside firmly shut and properly weatherstripped. -Open draperies and shades on sunny winter days. -Seal spaces around attic stairway doors and pulldown stairways. -Seal drafty windows with ordinanry masking tape; where appearances count, substitute cellophane tape. -Limit portable electric heater's use to temporary spot heating; it is the most costly form of heat. -Lower the thermostat to 55 degrees when leaving the house for a day or more. -Draw window shades and drapes at night to reduce winter heat loss through the glass. --Add a shield of metaL or aluminum foil behind radiators to reflect heat into the room. -Set your heater thermostat at the recommended 68 degrees and leave it alone during the day; overnight, lower the setting 5 to 10 degrees; this saves about 15 percent in heating costs. -Close windows and avoid drafts near the thermostat in winter. -Close off and don't heat unoccupied rooms. - Keep the radiators or registers clear of obstructions to allow heat to circulate, i.e., furniture, rugs, and drapes.
