13. People generate heat. So lower the thermo-
stat a degree or two when expecting a large
group of guests. Otherwise your home may
be wastefully overheated.
Cooling
14. When possible, locate any window air
conditioning units on the north or shady
side of the house.
15. Set the thermostat as high as comfort will
permit.
16. Make sure attics are adequately ventilated
to relieve heat build-up. If necessary, im-
prove airflow by adding or enlarging vents.
17. When building a new house or renovating
an oid one, choose light-colored roof
shingles to reflect more of the sun's heat.
18. During moderate weather, don't use the air
conditioner unnecessarily.
Extra Energy Tips, (cont,)
19. Draw blinds or drapes to block the sunlight
during the hottest part of the day.
20. tnsta]l awnings over windows exposed to
direct sunlight.
21. tn the cooting season, don't run kitchen and
bath exhaust fans longer than necessary.
22. Don't place lamps, TV sets or other heat-
producing devices beneath a wail-mounted
thermostat. Rising heat from the equipment
may cause the air conditioner system to
overcool your house.
Water heating
23. Keep your water heating system properly
maintained. Once or twice a year, drain a
bucket of water out of the bottom of the tank
as it may be full of sediment.
24. Add an extra layer of protection with a water
heater insulation kit. It will keep the heat
from being lost through the walls of your
tank.
25. Locate water heaters as close to the points
of hot water as possible. (The longer the
suppty pipe, the more heat lost.)
26. Repair leaky faucets promptly. A steady drip
of water can waste many gallons per month
and the energy used to heat it.
27. Running water is wasted water. When you
shave, use a sink stopper. When you
handwash dishes, use a dishpan.
Clean and check
28. It isrecommended that an annual "clean
and check" be performed on heating / air
conditioning equipment. Catl your local
Trane service professional for details.
