• Heat only those rooms that are used, with the exception of the room where the thermostat is located £ which should always be heated.

• Try to run energy-consuming * appliances during off-peak hours like * late at night or earlier in the day. »

• Set your thermostat as low as f comfort permits. Each degree over 65 F can add three percent to the * amount of energy you need for heat- ; ing; each degree below 65 can save * about the same. »

• Make sure that the fireplace l damper is closed when the fireplace » is not in use. Open dampers allow ; the natural draft of chimneys to pull ’ warm air out in winter and cool air • out in summer. »
