11. Transportation And Energy
That includes space heating, hot water and appliances. The energy consumed for heating depends on such variables as insulation, type of house, location, size of family and lifestyle.

12. Home Heating Costs Compared
In contrast, electrical appliances waste no heat because they are 100 per cent efficient. Having your furnace tested by your fuel supplier is one way to find out its exact efficiency.

13. Emissions
Also, Canadian tests so far have shown that several factors affect the build-up of emissions in your home, among them: the heater's wick setting, the outdoor pollutant level in your area, the presence of other fuel-burning appliances in your home (gas stoves for example), room size and outdoor temperature.

14. Setback Thermostats
With a setback thermostat, your heating system's efficiency will be improved during the pick-up period (restoring normal room temperature after a setback period), and appliances such as refrigerators and freezers will consume less energy because of cooler surrounding temperatures during the setback period.

15. Setting The Anticipator
Don't situate it where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or heat from other appliances such as a radio, TV or lamps, and don't put it behind a door or draperies.

16. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
All-insulated or double-insulated appliances offer good protection. They're designed so that if insulation fails, exposed metal will not become electrically live.

17. Building Or Buying?
You may also require major appliances and you will definitely have closing and settlement costs. You should have a clear idea of the monthly operating costs involved.

18. Using An Appliance On Foreign Current
appliances are designed to be used on 110 to 120V ac, 60 Hz current. If an appliance is going to be used on the 220V ac, 60 Hz current found in many European and other foreign countries, the 110V appliance can be coupled to the 220V current through a 2:1 stepdown transformer.

19. Converting AC To DC
Many modern appliances, while operating on ac, use dc motors or rechargeable dc batteries that require the ac to be converted to dc at some point within the appliance.

20. DC Motors
The simplest electric motors are dc motors, and these find many applications in small household appliances. They are often found in electric toothbrushes and small, portable hair dryers, for example.
