T h ird in a series o f PGE W att Watchers' Tips:
If you enjoy
the solid comfort
of electric heat
(and over 100,000 PGE customers do)
use these energy-saving ideas
When you stop to think about it,
your modern electric heating system
does a lot more than just keep
your home warm. It also eliminates
old-fashioned heating problems
like cold drafts and hot spots.
Since electric heat is flameless,
there's no build-up of soot or grime
on curtains or furniture. And it
helps you save energy by allowing
you to vary room temperatures
individually.
You might be surprised to discover
that you can often enjoy all
these benefits of electric heat
without using as much energy as
you do right now.
PGE asks you to be a
Watt Watcher anil try these
energy-saving tips:
Once you set individual room
thermostats at your family’s
lowest comfort level, you should
not have to touch them again,
regardless of variations of outdoor
temperatures. In fact, moving
thermostats up and down increases
your heating costs.
Turning your central heating
system off at night will just
make it work harder in the
morning when walls, floors and
ceilings have become cold.
Night set-back should be no more
than 5 to 7 degrees.

”5 Always make sure that doors
to your garage, basement and
attic remain closed. Letting heat
escape to these parts of the house is
simply a waste of energy and
money.
Keep heat indoors by sealing
areas around doors and
windows where it could escape.
If your home has a fireplace, keep
the damper closed when it is not
in use.
Check your home's insulation
carefully. Poor insulation can
increase your heating costs
drastically and unnecessarily.
Thoroughly examine and clean
your heating system each fall.
It »'an save you money in the
long run.
