Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, October 15th, 1975--7 Use this calculator to measure the efficiency of your oil or gas furnace. The hook explains everything that yon and your serviceman should do to save fuel and money. Both free when you send in the coupon below. How much of your heating dollar is going up in smoke? Get your furnace in shape for winter-- so you can be both warm and a little richer. You'll cut your fuel bill by as much as 25%, and help to conserve Canada's fast-dwindling energy reserves: AS A NATION we waste more energy than /xsome countries consume in total. We're on an energy binge that we can no longer afford. Modest cut-backs now will be easier to face than shortages and even higher prices in a few years time. For every $ 100 you spend on energy at home, more than half of it goes into heating. So your furnace is a great place to start saving. Check the efficiency of your oil furnace. Is your oil furnace working at top efficiency? Find out: Look for a dirty flame. Lift the flap that covers the small hole on the front of your furnace. If you see black smoke coming from the tip of the flame, your burner needs adjustment. Call the serviceman. Inspect for soot. Shut the furnace off and poke a flashlight inside the box. An accumulation of soot means it's time for a service call. Check the barometric damper. This valve between the furnace and chimney bumps open and shut as the wind blows and as the furnace cuts in and out. If it sticks in any position, you're wasting energy. Put your serviceman to work twice a year. A thorough oil furnace check-up in summer and mid-winter can cut as much as 25% from your fuel bill. (If you have a gas furnace it should be checked once a year.) Remember, it will take your serviceman about two hours to do a good job on an oil furnace (somewhat less on gas). He should remove soot from the firepot, heat exchanger and pipes; check the stack temper ature: perhaps try an oil nozzle 10% to 20% smaller (or the lowest firing rate recommended for your furnace). If you're paying for a complete check of the furnace and heating system, make sure you get it. Start by reading The Billpayer's Guide to Furnace Servicing. This free book explains everything that you and your serviceman should do to save fuel and money. (See coupon below.) It has a complete oil and gas furnace checklist, and a calculator for determining overall furnace efficiency. Lower your thermostat. Dropping your setting from 72 to 68°F will save about 10%, If each of us saves 10%, Canada will conserve 8 million barrels of oil and 24 million cubic feet of natural gas each year. It's time to pay the piper. We can't live in the future as we do now. The resources simply won't be available. Here are two facts to ponder: • If we continue to consume at our present rate of increase, Canada will need twice as much energy in 12 years. • The capital costs of developing new sources of energy will soar to $110 billion over the next 10 years -- an investment of about $20,000 for each Canadian family. It's no longer a matter of choice. We must save energy to save ourselves. Free information to help us all.
