TOP 10 WAYS a technician can prepare your home for winter (NC)—As the season shifts, it is important for homeowners to prepare their houses for cooler temperatures. Getting your place prepared for another great Canadian winter means having your home’s heating equipment inspected and serviced to ensure it is in optimal working condition. Investing in the proper maintenance of a home heating system is essential to ensuring that it provides reliable and efficient indoor comfort when the outdoor temperature drops. A clean, well-adjusted heating system will save you money on monthly bills and will prolong your furnace’s life. The cost of annual servicing is modest, especially when compared with the price of a new furnace or major repairs resulting from neglect. Be sure your furnace is ready to battle the cold grip of winter by arranging a maintenance visit from a qualified heating contractor such as those who hold membership with The Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI). There is some furnace maintenance that homeowners can undertake themselves, such as the cleaning and replacing of filters. To ensure safe and efficient operation of a heating system, however, a qualified technician should be called upon to perform the following services:

safety test for carbon monoxide (CO). 2 The venting system is inspected for leaks, slope, support and debris. 3 Air filters are inspected and changed or cleaned as necessary. 4 Operation of the thermostat and safety controls is tested to ensure proper performance. 5 The gas pilot safety system (including the igniter, spark electrode or pilot) is checked and cleaned as required. 6 The unit’s motor and fan are removed and cleaned for optimal function. 7 The drains and traps are inspected and flushed out. 8 Adequate combustion air requirements are determined by the technician to ensure safety. 9 Heat exchangers and electrical connections are inspected. 10 And finally, burners are cleaned and set as dictated by manufacturer’s specifications. Homeowners searching for a qualified heating contractor in their area can visit www.hrai.ca or call toll-free at 1-877-467-HRAI. www.newscanada.com

HIGH HOME ENERGY SCORE COULD HELP SELL HOME Looking to boost the resale value of your home? Knowing its energy score could help. (NC) An energy score is an rating given to your home after it has been audited by a professional home energy auditor. Similar to a house’s walking score, an energy score can be listed on the MLS listing for your home, and it can be a selling point for potential buyers. Assessing previous energy bills are not always indicative of the actual energy efficiency of the home. Often times, energy bills reflect the lifestyle of the residents, not the house’s efficiency. An energy audit and energy score provides potential buyers the actual efficiency of your home.

An energy audit rates your home’s energy efficiency level on a scale of zero to 100. The more energy efficient the home is, the higher the score. A rating of zero represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption, whereas a rating of 80 represents an airtight, wellinsulated, and sufficiently ventilated home with highefficiency equipment. During an energy audit, homeowners receive recommendations on upgrades that can help make their home more energy efficient.

If you decide to sell, be sure to tell your realtor about Enbridge Gas Distribution’s Home Rating program. By having your realtor include your energy score on your MLS listing and other marketing material, you are letting potential buyers know that they can save on their energy costs. For more information on your home’s energy efficiency, visit www.knowyourenergyscore.ca. www.newscanada.com

UPGRADING YOUR THERMOSTAT CAN REDUCE YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL (NC) Even though Canadians can save as much as 5 per cent on their heating bills this winter by simply upgrading to a programmable thermostat, half of homeowners have yet to make the switch. “Most people don’t give a lot of thought to the type of thermostat they have, and those with an old mercury thermostat, or non-programmable unit, would be surprised how much money they’re wasting,” says Dave Walton, the director of home ideas at Direct Energy. “Think about this: You wake-up in the morning and it is cold inside, so you turn your heat up to 24 degrees. By the time the house heats up you’re off to work, but did you turn the thermostat back down? If not, your furnace will be working all day to heat your house to 24 degrees when no one is home.” With electricity rates forecasted to increase 46 per cent between 2010 and 2015 , and gas prices continuing to rise from historic lows, Walton advises to invest in a programmable thermostat, which can cost as low as $40 and could save big bucks on your energy bill.

WARNING SIGNS OF A FAILING FURNACE (NC) Are you sure your furnace will keep you warm right through the winter? It’s the one appliance that is so easy to take for granted as it works around the clock to keep you cool in summer and warm through the blustery winter. The biggest test comes now when the cold January and February temperatures plunge below zero. If this raises concerns, Dave Walton, the director of home ideas at Direct Energy, recommends we pay close attention to these warning signs to avoid being left in the cold: • Is your furnace making unusual wheezing or hissing noises or working harder than normal? • Is your furnace sporadically shutting down before your home heats to the temperature on your thermostat? • Have you noticed an increase in your energy bill compared to last year? • Are there rooms in your home getting little or no heat? If you are experiencing any of these problems, your furnace could be at risk. If it is 17 years or older it is not only at greater risk of malfunction, but it can also emit carbon monoxide throughout your home, leaving your family in danger. More information is available online at www.davescorner.ca. www.newscanada.com

“Digital or programmable thermostats allow you to set different temperatures on different days and times, so you’re not wasting energy while you’re not at home,” he says. “Needless to say, you recoup the cost of a new thermostat pretty quickly.” Walton went a step further himself, investing in a ‘learning thermostat’ that can sense lack of motion in his home and adjust itself to “away mode”. There’s also a “green” feature which records when he sets the temperature below the norm (average home temperature is 22 degrees C and provides a report showing how much money he saved by being eco-responsible.
