Plan Ahead For Savings And Comfort
Like the fabled ant which read­
ied itself for winter while his com­
panions played, planning ahead for
the cold and wet season, even in the
middle of summer, can have big pay­
offs.
T h e C o m m u n ity E n e rg y
project in Portland offers free
weatherization for seniors and
disabled citizens on low incomes.
Trained volunteers install ener-
gy-saving materials such as v i­
n yl
storm
w in d o w s,
w e a th e rstrip p in g fo r d o o rs,
caulk, water heater blankets and
water pipe wraps. A ll labor and
materials are free.
“ We get flooded with re­
quests in the fa ll,” says Maggie
Lang, project coordinator, "and
we sim ply can't get all the homes
weatherized before the cold sea-
son hits. So summer is a good
time for people to give us a call.
We have lots o f volunteers right
now.”
Plugging up the air leaks that
make a home cold and drafty w ill
translate into greatercomfort and
lower heating b ills next winter
when the cold weather arrivers.
Qualifying persons must be se­
niors or disabled on low incomes
