Touchstone Energy ® 

The power of human connections 

hether you're in the market 

for a new manufactured 

home or looking for ways Wto use less electricity in your existing 

home, energy efficiency should be a 

top priority. Like site-built homes, 

manufactured homes can be designed 

for energy efficiency. The 

energy investments you make 

today will yield savings in the 

form of lower energy bills for 

years to come. 

When buying a new home, 

ask your dealer about 

efficiency upgrades. If you 

already own your home, 

making changes now can 

lower your energy bills, 

improve your comfort and 

increase your home's resale 

value. 

“When it comes to energy 

efficiency, the primary focus 

is on how you heat or cool 

your home and the steps you 

take to keep that conditioned air 

inside,” Rhonda Byrd-Lee, Manager, 

Energy Services says. 

There are many ways to increase 

the energy efficiency of a 

manufactured home. Some steps you 

can do yourself, and others require the 

skills of trained professionals. 

Heating and cooling 

Your home's heating and cooling 

system accounts for about 50 percent 

of your monthly energy usage, so a 

high-efficiency heat pump is a wise 

investment. 

“If purchasing a new home, upgrade 

your heating and cooling unit to an 

energy-efficient heat pump,” says 

Byrd-Lee. “Your monthly mortgage 

bill could be a few dollars higher, but 

you will more than make up for it in 

energy savings.” 

Considering the relatively small 

extra cost for the ENERGY STAR 

option (typically $5 to $10 to a 

monthly loan payment), a heat pump 

could save you as much as $150 a 

month in electricity costs just during 

the winter. 

If you already own your home, 

Byrd-Lee says a new heat pump is a 

wise investment. “An electric 

heat pump uses about a third 

less energy to supply the 

same heat as a furnace.” 

It's also important to clean 

and service your unit 

annually, and to clean or 

replace air filters monthly. 

Keep vents clean and 

unobstructed, and arrange 

your furniture to allow air to 

flow freely. Also consider the 

placement of your thermostat. 

Be sure it is located away 

from heat sources such as 

fireplaces, stoves or 

windows, to ensure accurate 

readings. 

Insulation 

Insulation is often the biggest 

energy flaw in older manufactured 

homes. The crawl space under your 

home offers access to some of its most 

important energy details. It's worth 

taking the time to inspect this often-

neglected area. Your mobile home was 

designed and built with insulation in 

the floor, and a layer of fiberboard or 

“belly paper” to protect this insulation 

and the plumbing lines above it. This 

protective layer often gets damaged by 

animals, weather and deterioration 

over time, leaving your home exposed 

to outdoor air that robs energy in both 

winter and summer. 

Replace any missing insulation with 

fiberglass batts, then repair any 

damage you find in the belly. Use 

plywood and screws to repair any 

damaged fiberboard. Use belly paper 

(purchased at a mobile home supply 

shop) and construction adhesive to 

repair any torn paper. 

In a new home, ask your dealer to 

upgrade the insulation in your floors 

to R-19. Ceiling insulation should be a 

minimum of R-28. Homes with fourinch 

exterior walls should have R11- 

13 insulation, and six-inch walls 

should have R-19 insulation. Also 

request insulated windows that help 

seal your home, keeping conditioned 

air inside and the weather outside. 

Ductwork 

Leaky ductwork can be one of the 

biggest contributors to high bills in 

manufactured homes. 

Your home's ductwork is probably 

installed beneath the floor. Check to 

see if any of this ductwork is exposed 

and or if any joints are loose or 

disconnected. Carefully inspect the 

area immediately under your heating 

unit. If you live in a double-wide, 

inspect the “cross-over duct” that 

connects the heating system in each 

half of the home. The crossoverduct 

often becomes 

disconnected and it is commonly 

found problem when conducting 

energy audits on doublewide homes. 

If you find disconnected ducts or 

loose joints, seal them with metal duct 

tape or with duct mastic. 

Proper skirting will prevent damage 

and the free flow of air under your 

home, shielding your home from the 

outside elements, and protecting your 

ductwork from damage. 

Sealing the cracks 

During both the heating and cooling 

seasons, it can be costly to have air 

leaking (or “infiltrating”) in and out of 

your home. Manufactured homes are 

susceptible to air infiltration because 

they are usually installed off the 

ground. 

Whether or not your home is new, 

be sure to check these areas: 

•Around door and window frames. 

•Wherever penetrations through the 

manufactured home envelope exist, 

including: gas, electric, water, 

telephone and TV cable penetrations; 

heating and cooling system flues, air 

ducts and ventilation fan ducts. 

•At edges and seams of the belly 

board. 

•Wherever the interior finish is 

penetrated, as for plumbing fixtures 

(especially the bathtub) and electrical 

outlets, switch plates and fixtures. 

•At seams, joints and holes in the 

interior paneling, including wall-floor, 

wall-ceiling and wall-wall junctures. 

There are several things you can 

easily do to stop air infiltration: 

caulking, weatherstripping, installing 

gaskets behind electrical outlet and 

light switch plates, and sealing kitchen 

and bathroom vents. 

Placement of your home 

The best site for your home is one 

that provides the best natural summer 

coolness and winter warmth as 

possible. Plant shade trees around 

your home – particularly on the 

western side -- taking care not to plant 

trees under power lines. Your home's 

orientation can also affect its energyefficiency. 

It will be exposed to more 

warmth in the winter (and less in the 

summer) if the long side – the side 

with the most windows – faces the 

south. 

Other ways to save 

Using less energy in your home is as 

simple as practicing good energy 

habits. Adjust your thermostat to 78 

degrees in the summer and 68 degrees 

in the winter. Change your heating and 

cooling unit's filter at least once a 

month. Use a clothes line instead of a 

dryer. Adjust your water heater 

temperature to 120 degrees, and wash 

clothes in cold water when possible. 

“We all have control over how we 

use energy,” says Byrd-Lee. “Making 

small lifestyle changes can make a 

tremendous difference in our energy 

usage.”

Installing A Programmable Thermostat 

Can Help Lower Your Energy Bill 

Source: Touchstone Energy® Cooperatives' Home Energy Savings Guide 

Did you know that properly using a 

programmable thermostat in your 

home is one of the easiest ways you 

can save energy and money? An 

ENERGY STAR qualified 

programmable thermostat helps make 

it easy for you to save by offering four 

pre-programmed settings to regulate 

your home's temperature in summer 

and winter. 

The pre-programmed settings that 

come with ENERGY STAR qualified 

programmable thermostats are 

intended to deliver savings without 

sacrificing comfort. Depending on 

your family's schedule, you can see 

significant savings by sticking with 

those settings or adjusting them 

accordingly. The key is to establish a 

program that automatically reduces 

heating and cooling in your home 

when you don't need it as much. 

The pre-programmed settings for an 

ENERGY STAR qualified 

programmable thermostat are: 

Which Programmable Thermostat 

is Right for Me? 

To decide which model is best for 

you, think about your schedule and 

how often you are away from home 

for regular periods of time – work, 

school, and other activities – then 

decide which of the models best fits 

your schedule: the 7-day; 5+2-day or 

the 5-1-1-day. 

7-day models are best if your daily 

schedule tends to change. For 

example, if children are at home 

earlier on some days. They give you 

the most flexibility, letting you set 

different programs for different days. 

5+2-day models use the same 

January 2010 

schedule every weekday and another 

for weekends. 

5-1-1 models are best if you tend to 

keep one schedule Monday-Friday 

and another schedule on Saturdays 

and Sundays.4421302 

Installation 

Install your programmable 

thermostat unit on an interior wall 

away from heating and cooling vents 

and other sources of heat or drafts. 

Remember to read all instructions and 

proceed carefully. If the job requires 

more than just a replacement, call a 

certified HVAC professional to ensure 

proper installation as well as operation 

of your heating and cooling system. 

It's a good idea to upgrade an old 

manual thermostat to a programmable 

unit if you are replacing your system 

because programmable thermostats 

are far more accurate and will 

maximize the efficiency of your new

program period. You use more energy 

(and end up paying more on energy 

bills) if you consistently “hold” or 

over-ride the pre-programmed 

settings. 

3. Units typically have two types of 

hold features: (a) hold / permanent / 

vacation; (b) temporary. Avoid using 

the hold/permanent/vacation feature to 

manage day to day temperature 

settings. “Hold” or “vacation” features 

are best when you're planning to be 

away for an extended period. Set this 

feature at a constant, efficient 

temperature (i.e. several degrees 

warmer temperature in summer; 

several degrees cooler during winter), 

when going away for the weekend or 

vacation. You'll waste energy and 

money if you leave the “hold” feature 

at the comfort setting while you're 

away. 7909802 

4. Cranking your unit up to 90 

degrees or down to 40 degrees, for 

Statement of Non-Discrimination 

example, will not heat or cool your 

home any faster. Most thermostats, 

including ENERGY STAR rated units, 

begin to heat or cool at a set time, to 

reach set-point temperatures sometime 

thereafter. Units with adaptive 

recovery features are an exception to 

this rule. 

5. Many homes use just one 

thermostat to control the whole house. 

If your home has multiple heating or 

cooling zones, you'll need a 

programmed setback thermostat for 

each zone to maximize comfort, 

convenience and energy savings 

throughout the house. 

6.If your programmable thermostat 

runs on batteries, don't forget to 

change the batteries each year. Some 

units will indicate when batteries must 

be changed.

I was hunting ducks before there 

was an Alabama lifetime hunting 

license, before there was an 

Alabama state duck stamp, and the 

bag limit was determined by a 

point system that assigned numeric 

values to each species of 

waterfowl. All that means is that 

I'm older than swamp mud when it 

comes to duck hunting. 

Each year, many aspiring wing 

shooters want to expand the scope 

of their sport to include duck 

hunting. It is a unique sport that 

has at its core some die-hard 

followers. Entering the duck 

hunting fraternity requires 

something of a right of passage. 

Part of that entry includes some 

basics that govern personal safety 

and comfort, as well as some 

common practices of hunter 

courtesy. 6263001 

The purchase of a license, a duck 

stamp, a set of waders and some 

steel shot does not immediately 

qualify anyone as a duck hunter. 

True duck hunters are tempered 

through lack of sleep, freezing rain, 

growling stomachs, and unbearable 

boat rides up a cold river swamp. 

During the course of their 

development, duck hunters quickly 

learn to wear proper clothing and 

always have a back-up plan for dry 

clothes. At some point in time, they 

are going to be completely 

submerged in freezing water. They 

also come to learn that the 

investment in a floating gun case is 

not the frivolous expenditure they 

once thought it was. The same can 

be said for graduating to purchase 

the more expensive and well 

insulated chest waders. It's the 

closest thing to a space suit that a 

duck hunter will ever wear . . . and 

is every bit as important! 

As apprentice duck hunters 

explore the sport alongside more 

experienced water fowlers, they 

come to understand the importance 

of maps, navigation, GPS and 

proper boat lighting. Above all 

else, duck hunters recognize the 

necessity of wearing personal 

floatation devices while boating 

through the darkness in subfreezing 

temperatures. Becoming 

lost, frozen, or drowning, are all 

circumstances that can be avoided 

through proper planning and 

attention to safety procedures. 

Courtesy is also a major part of 

the sport. If, when approaching the 

hunting area, a light is seen 

flashing back in your direction, 

you are too late. The duck hunter, 

who elected to get up earlier this 

morning, has successfully claimed 

your location. His beacon is 

signaling that there is no need for 

you to drop decoys or continue 

your approach. All that should be 

done is to reverse your course and 

find another location, or plan to get 

up earlier next time. It is a 

common courtesy of the sport to 

respect the early arrival of another 

duck hunter. 

A trained retriever is a valuable 

asset to a hunt and assists in 

preventing the loss or waste of 

game. An untrained retriever is the 

worst nightmare ever put into a 

boat of decoys. I have suffered 

through barkers, biters, squatters, 

and duck eaters. Showing up with 

an untrained porch-sitter is the 

quickest way for a group of hunters 

to lose your phone number. 

Any beginning duck hunter can 

certainly wear ten calls on a 

lanyard around his neck. But it is 


wise not to blow one unless you 

are asked to contribute. I have had 

the privilege of hunting with one of 

the best duck callers in the world. 

Even after twenty years of hunting, 

there is nothing I could have 

produced on a duck call that would 

have lifted my standing in his 

presence. It was far better to watch 

and listen to a true master at work. 

Sometimes, it's more important to 

know, when NOT to blow. 

Pick your shot and respect the 

game. Regardless of how much 

your gun costs or what choke and 

shell combination you are 

shooting, a shotgun has limits. It's 

a simple law of physics. You are 

shooting a shotgun, not an intergalactic 

laser. By allowing the 

birds to work the decoys, rather 

than “sky-busting”, you will be 

revered by your hunting partners. 

More importantly, you will become 

more successful at making clean 

shots, rather than wounding game. 

It is important for those who are 

entering the sport of duck hunting 

to understand the big picture of the 

experience. Any attempt to 

measure the true quality of duck 

hunting based on the amount of 

“game taken” would be an insult to 

the hunters who enjoy and 

contribute to the pursuit of 

waterfowl hunting. Some new 

hunters will elect to dabble in the 

sport and will eventually fall away. 

Those of us who have chosen to 

stay, year after year, are completely 

absorbed by it.6086301 

Duck hunting, when done 

properly, is one of the most 

beautiful hunting sports in the 

world. It's the sunrises, the calls, 

the wings, the water, and those 

long retrieves that combine to 

flood the senses. 

In duck hunter's terms, 

“Anything beyond that . . . is just 

gravy”.

Attention High School Juniors – 

Youth Tour is Coming Soon! 

High School juniors from schools 

throughout West Florida Electric 

Cooperative's (WFEC) service area in 

Calhoun, Holmes, Jackson and 

Washington Counties are eligible to 

compete in the National Rural Electric 

Association's Youth Tour. The contest 

is limited each year to eleventh-grade 

students whose parents or guardians 

are WFEC member-owners. WFEC 

treats all the candidates to a two-day 

trip to Tallahassee where they will 

tour the old and new state capitols, 

meet government officials and observe 

the legislature in session and more. 

Youth Tour candidates are 

nominated by their high school 

counselor or principal and compete 

against other students in their area for 

a chance to visit our nation's capitol. 

Once a candidate is chosen from 

each school in the WFEC service area, 

the trip to Tallahassee is taken. Upon 

the candidates' return, a panel of 

experts from other electric co-ops 

interviews the students individually 

about their knowledge of WFEC, the 

rural electrification program and 

energy facts, then evaluates the 

students' responses, communications 

skills, involvement in their 

community, poise and personalities. 

Following the interviews, the 

participants and their guests enjoy a 

banquet. Two Youth Tour participants 

are then selected to visit Washington, 

D.C. 

The trip to Washington includes 

meetings with congressional 

representatives, a Potomac River 

cruise and dance, visits to several 

historic sites, including the U.S. 

Capitol Building, Ford's Theatre, 

Arlington National Cemetery, the 

Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the 

Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the 

Holocaust Memorial Museum and 

more. 

The Youth Tour program's purpose 

is to provide public recognition to 

outstanding young people, and to 

acquaint high school students with 

governmental activities on a local, 

state and federal level. The winners of 

WFEC's Youth Tour competition may 

compete against winners from other 

co-ops in Florida to represent the state 

on the National Youth Leadership 

Board. 

Each school in WFEC's service area 

chooses its candidate in a different 

manner, so if you are a high school 

junior and interested in finding out 

more about this program, please 

contact your school's guidance 

counselor for eligibility requirements.
