tn between the storm window frame, seal the jot with caulking taze. Drafts between the storm window sashes can be sealed with transparent weaither-stripping tape.

Renew worn Weather Stripping Plastic and felt weather stripping eventually become so worn they dont make an ainlight seal. Replace with new weatherstripping.

Build tnterior Window Shutters One of the best ways to cut heat loss through windows, especially at night, is to cover them with removable in- sulated shutters. The most important windows to cover are those on the north side. You can make a shutter by sandwiching a sheet of one to two inch plastic foam between two thin sheets of hardboard. A couple of but- terfly catches on the window frame wilt hold the shutter.

Use a Protected Outside Door

lf you have an outside door that gels some protection from the wind - a door into an atlached garage, breezeway or porch - that’s the one to use in winter. Each time you open an un- protected door. huge quantities of cold enter the house. It's also a good idea to seal off unused doors with insula- tion - especially if they are thin panel doors that let cold in even with a storm door, An easy way to insulate such a door is to fit a sheet of plastic foam, between it and the storm door.

Keep the Kitchen Exhaust Fan off Each time an exhaust fan is turned on, it pulls a lot of heated air out of the house. It also creates a sligix vacuum inside the house, and this pulls cold

air in from the outside. Unless you have a high humidity problem in the house. don't use the bathroom ex- haust either, Just open the door and let moist air be absorbed by house air.

Adjust the Furnace for Continuous Air Circulation

This simple adjustment calied CAC io let the furnace blower run constantly saves fuel and distributes the heat more evenly and does. of course. add to your electric bill. But the cost is more than offset by the saving in fuel,

which can be as much as 15 percent.

Cut Basement Heat Loss

your heating gauipment is in the basement, you should weatherstrip basement windows and staple plastic sheeting to the window frames to serve as a storm sash. Weather-strip any door leading to the outside and cover it with rigid foam insulation. Also insulate the ‘*header’’ -

the strip of heavy timer that rests on top of the foundation wali.

Don't use the Fireplace in very cold weather

Unless you have a glass fire screen or the fireplace is in a room that can be closed off. using a fireplace in very cold weather can draw more heated air out of the house that the fire pro- duces. Green or wet wood won't give you much heat, and produces a lot of creosote in the chimney or stove pipe. which can result in a dagerous chimney fire.
