But for anyone who is thinking think-ing of cutting the chill with a couple of extra sweaters, the Hearth Products Association ( 1 1PA) of Arlington, VA has good news. People can reduce monthly heating expenses by installing a hearth product, such as a freestanding stove or a fireplace insert, as a secondary second-ary heater for the high-use zones of a house. "With a hearth product, people peo-ple can focus heat where they spend the most time, like family fami-ly rooms or kitchens," said Carter Keithley, president of the HPA. "This concentrated heat requires less energy and helps save money on home heating bills." The concept of zone heating with a hearth product has the greatest potential for cost savings sav-ings when people add a wood or pellet burning stove, or fireplace fire-place insert, because of the cost of the fuel. This past winter firewood was approximately 61 percent less expensive than electricity and around 20 percent less A III EM fo) n n r-a r n nj '.J n n UMTS La u U UO IF" A GREEN STICKER MEANS YOUR NATURAL GAS FURNACE OR WATER HEATER IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED.

Gas than oil and natural gas. The savings with pellet fuel was also significant. The addition of a gas stove or gas fireplace insert can also provide home heating relief because these state-of-the-art hearth products operate with greater efficiency than many older gas furnaces in homes today and do not lose heat through inefficient ductwork. The Hearth Products Association offers the following tips to help keep home heating costs in control this season: Determine the zones to heat: Taking an inventory of the rooms most used in a house to help determine where to concentrate con-centrate heat for the most comfort. com-fort. Update an existing fireplace. fire-place. Most traditional fireplaces fire-places are a major source of energy loss. If the chosen zone has a fireplace, adding an energy-efficient fireplace insert can turn the fireplace into an effective effec-tive heating source. Add a freestanding stove: Kitchens, living rooms and family rooms without fireplaces are good candidates for freestanding free-standing stoves. Most stoves are compact and can easily be installed in rooms with limited space requirements. Choose a fuel: Natural gas, propane, wood, and wood pellets pel-lets can be burned in either a fireplace insert or a freestanding freestand-ing stove. For more information about fireplace inserts or freestanding freestand-ing stoves, visit a hearth specialty spe-cialty retailer or go to the Hearth Products Association Web site at www.hearthassoci-ation.org.
