Hydro’s “financing plan for improved home ‘insulation has been extended for six months, from October 1 to March 31, 1978, and — broadened to include mult- fele window glazing in ddttion to ceiling, wall and floor insulation. © Under the plan initiated on April 1 this year homeowners with credit approval from Hydro may borrow from $50 to $500 to assist with insulation projects and repay in instalments over two to 24 months at 10 per cent interest on the descending balance. A condition of ‘each loan is that insulation to be applied — ‘must have sufficient heat- retaining value to achieve desirable energy conserva- tion. A homeowner may do the work himself or have it done by an approved con- | tractor. After a slow start wal the | beginning, use of the plan . has been gaining momen- tum, and Hydro expects a continuing increase in the number of applications for financing from October to March because of the cooler | weather and the inclusion of multiple window glazing. The financing plan, is. available -to owners. or ‘purchasers of single family — homes, duplexes, or rooming | ¥ oa yeh ed ut sel houses which were originally © single family dwellings. | oe Applications for financing” are made through retailers or. contractors who are going to supply or install the insula- _ tion. Those retailers and jer contractors participating in the. program make their affiliation known through advertising or displays at their places of business. It is not necessary to re-insulate the entire home to qualify for Hydro finaric- ing. But whatever portion of the insulation is. to be upgraded must be brought up to the minimum standards recommended by Hydro and -the ‘insulating trade. a gaiuiig, eee penepreanigen rian neeey ieee inner patent eaaMn rn EE ale ; . # ' 4 : A i Voy 1/8008, SRE ASR Poe RATT NA a Seah average 107 W.Esplanade- North Vancouver, These ate: a factor of -R28 for ceiling (or R27 with batts), R12. in walls, R20 in: _ floors exposed to outside temperatures, and R28 on concrete walls.
