WF Hea igs, Sn YOU'LL SAVE MONEY BY GETTING OFF OIL BECAUSE THE PRICE OF OIL IS ESCALATING, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. Heating with oil is a habit Canadians acquired when oil was plentiful and cheap. Today sources of oil are unreliable and increasingly more expensive, so we just have to kick the habit. The habit won't be hard to break because Canada has an abundance of energy alterna- tives that are plentiful and are ultimately cheaper than oil. The Canada Oil Substitu- tion Program (COSP), is a major part of the federal govern- ment's National Energy Program. COSP is designed to help reduce the use of oil for home heating in every pro- vince to no more than 10 per cent of total household energy use by 1990. COSP is a 10-year program that offers grants of up to $800 covering half the cost of equipment and labour for changing your space or hot water heating system from oil to natural gas, electricity, propane or renewable energy sources such as wood and solar. The COSP grant is taxable. The oil substitution of a centrally heated building unit that contains two or more self-contained dwelling units can qualify for COSP grants ranging from $1,000 to S5,500. HOW TO APPLY FOR YOUR GRANT Those of you who are ready to get off oil, or have switched from oil since October 28, 1980, ask for grant information from: ® your nearest natural gas or electric utility; ¢ the federal Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (EMR) office, about conver-. sion to wood or solar heat or another renewable energy source. EMR is located at: 2242 Lakeshore Boulevard W. Toronto, Ontario M8V 1A5 Call: (416) 252-5866 or toll-free: 1-800-268-2207 PLAN AHEAD FOR BEST SAVINGS To start planning your move off oil, the federal Depart- ment of Energy, Mines and Resources can help you: ® assess your home's energy efficiency by means of a free computerized EnerSave questionnaire; " e insulate your home under the Canadian Home Insulation Program (CHIP) which pro- vides taxable grants of up to S500. Insulation is not a require- ment of COSP, but it makes sense to have a well insulated home before you change your heating system. The better your insulation the smaller-sized heating system you'll need when you switch off oil.
