dinner to enjoy and socialize with the Parks and Recre-
ation staff. Meat, tableware, and coffee/beverage are

bring a side dish and/or-dessert to share with every-

to run properly and effi-
ciently, just like your vehi-
de. Ayearly tune-up by a
licensed contractor can en-
sure that your heating sys-
tem is running efficiently
and safely and will keep
you comfortable. By main-
taining your equipment,
you can prevent future
problems and costly re-
pairs.
4. Change your filters:
Fall is a great time to change
your furnace filter since a
dirty filter makes the sys-
tem work harder and use
more energy than necessary.
At a minimum, you should
change your filter every
three months. However, it
may need replaced more
during heavy use months
such as winter: If the filter
is dirty, change it.
5. Set it smart: Keep your
thermostat at 68 degrees or
lower in the winter to save
energy and money. Consid-
er installing a programma-
ble thermostat that auto-
matically adjusts the tem-
perature lower when you're
asleep or away. For every
degree below 68 in the win-
ter, you'll reduce your en-
ergy use by approximately
four percent over a 24-hour
period.
6. Seal it up: Use weath-
er-stripping and caulk to
seal air leaks and block
drafts around doors, win-
dows, chimneys, electric
outlets and other potential
areas for air leakage, includ-
ing the basement and attic.
7. Buy it right: Install
ENERGY STAR® lighting
and appliances in your
home. ENERGY STAR CFL
and LED lightbulbs use 70-
90 percent less energy and
last 10 to 25 times longer
than standard incandescent
bulbs.
8. Wrap it up: Put clear
plastic sheets over the inside
or outside of your windows
to reduce heat loss and in-
crease comfort. Window
