(NAPSI)-There’s a vast array of en-ergy-saving “to dos.” These helpful tipscan guide you: Start with the RightCaulk-Silicone: The Long-LastingWeatherization Solution. According tothe U.S. Department of Energy, you cansave 10 percent or more on your energybill by air sealing. However, not all caulkprovides energy savings over time. Onehundred percent silicone caulk does.Leaks frequently occur in and aroundhomes in places where extreme tempera-ture fluctuations, moisture, humidity anddamaging UV rays take their toll. Unlikeacrylic caulk, which is vulnerable tothese elements and can break down overtime, silicone remains permanently flexible, shrinkproof,crack-proof and waterproof. In fact, 100 percent silicone re-mains unaffected by all weather and temperature conditions,so it helps prevent gaps and cracks, through which energy dol-lars can pass, from reforming. Look for GE Silicone II Win-dow & Door or GE Silicone II W/D Supreme. If you need topaint the area, try new Groov by GE, which performs and

lasts like a silicone and is easy to applyand paint like an acrylic.Install Programmable Thermostats in

the Proper Location. According to ener-gystar.gov, you can save about $180 a yearby properly setting and maintaining pro-grammable thermostat units. But be surethe unit is mounted on an interior wallaway from heating or cooling vents orother sources of heat or drafts. A falsereading as a result of cool drafts or exces-sive warm air can lead to unnecessary en-ergy consumption.CFLs: Today’s New Styles Are Brighter.

The average CFL lightbulb will save youabout $30 over its lifetime and pay for it-

self in about six months, according to energystar.gov. Want tobe more energy efficient but find that the light is too dim? Trya brighter bulb-CFL equivalencies are based on the overalllight output of the bulbs. Because CFL light appears diffuse,however, the same output isn’t always enough.For more information on how to weatherize your home,

(NAPS)—If you’re thinking aboutbuying a home, now might be the righttime. Mortgage rates remain at histori-cally low levels, and housing prices haveyet to rebound from their recent de-clines. As those conditions aren’t ex-pected to last, smart homebuyers needto consider their options, especially ifthey are making low down payments.There are

two mainoptions forfirst-timebuyers andothers put-ting lessthan 20 per-cent down:loans in-sured by theFederalHousingAdministra-tion (FHA)and loans in-sured by pri-vate mortgage insurance (PMI).Premiums are tax deductible, and the in-surance may be cancelable when equity

in the home reaches 20 percent. Bothprograms have changed in the past year,and more changes may be ahead. WhileFHA pricing has often been more favor-able compared to PMI, rates are goingup. Earlier this year, the up-front pre-mium required on FHA loans jumpedfrom 1.75 percent to 2.25 percent of thebase loan amount, adding $1,000 to a

$200,000 mortgage.Now the FHA wantsto raise its maximummortgage insurancepremium, a changethat could take themonthly premium ona $200,000 mortgagefrom $92 to $125.PMI offers many

premium plan struc-tures that now makepricing very competi-tive. In general, PMIpricing is more afford-able than FHA’s forborrowers putting

down 10–15 percent and can matchFHA on loans with 5 percent down.The minimum required FHA down

payment is 3.5 percent, but new creditguidelines require a credit score of 580to qualify for the 3.5 percent program.Borrowers with less than a 580 creditscore must put at least 10 percent down. PMI mortgages with 5 percent down

are available nationwide, with 3 percentdown for some loans that meet Afford-able Housing Guidelines. PMI can also offer extra benefits at no

extra cost to the borrower. GenworthFinancial, for example, purchases jobloss protection that helps make a bor-rower’s mortgage payment (principal,interest, taxes and insurance) in theevent of involuntary unemployment upto $2,000 a month for up to six monthsduring the benefit period, with a maxi-mum of three monthly payments per jobloss occurrence.Genworth also provides free home-

owner assistance to borrowers in finan-cial difficulty as long as they havemortgage insurance with the company.In 2009, it completed nearly 20,000mortgage workouts, saving over $2.6billion of mortgages from foreclosure.More information is available at

(NAPS)—The lilac print wallpaper inyour bedroom may not be your style.And if your house is on the market,that lilac print wallpaper is probablynot your prospective buyer’s style either.Removing wallpaper is easier than youmay think and has a big impact on ahome’s appearance. In fact, removingaging, sagging wallpaper is one of theleast expensive ways to improve ahome’s resale value and shorten its timeon the market, according to a survey ofreal estate appraisers. Follow this advice for “painless”

wallpaper removal in three easy steps:Step 1—Most wallpaper has a water-

proof surface, so it’s necessary to scoreit so the wallpaper stripper can pene-trate and loosen the glue underneath.Use a wallpaper scoring tool likeZinsser PaperTiger®, a palm-held toolthat perforates the wallpaper withoutdamaging the wall. Move PaperTiger ina circular motion to make as many

holes as possible, using light pressure.The more holes you make, the fasterand easier it will be to remove the wall-paper.

Step 2—Next, apply a wallpaperstripper like Zinsser DIF® QuickWallpaper Stripper, an environmentallyfriendly wallpaper stripper that removeswallpaper in just two minutes. DIF

Quick loosens the glue underneath thewallpaper to make wallpaper removalquick and easy. Simply spray the ready-to-use solution on the scored paperstarting at the top and working yourway down, making sure the wallpaperis thoroughly wet. DIF® is also avail-able in a concentrated liquid, UltraConcentrate and Gel for tough wallpa-per removal projects. Step 3—Use a tool like the Paper

Scraper™ to remove the loose wallpa-per without surface damage or hardwork. If any glue remains after thepaper has been removed, spray the areawith more stripping solution, wait afew minutes and remove the glue withthe scraping tool or a sponge and rinsewith clean water. It really is that easy!Before you know it, you will haveremoved all the wallpaper, and yourroom will be ready for redecorating. For more project ideas and product

information, visit www.zinsser.com.

(NAPSI)-Cooler weather canmean more days spent indoorsand signal the need to spruce upyour home for seasonal get-to-gethers. When getting ready forthe cozy days ahead, don’t for-get to clean your home’s air ductsystem.

Air ducts and ventilation systems canbecome clogged with dust, pet hair andother contaminants, making them abreeding ground for mold and bacteria.When firing up the furnace this win-

ter, you may notice a burning smellcoming from your air ducts. This is anindication of dust buildup in yourhome’s ventilation system.An easy way to tell if your system

should be cleaned is to remove the ventwith a screwdriver. If you see a collec-tion of dust or mold, consider calling aprofessional heating and cooling sys-tem cleaning contractor.Check that the company is a certified

member of the National Air DuctCleaners Association (NADCA), an or-ganization that tests the knowledge ofcontractors for safe and effective heat-ing and cooling cleaning. For more in-formation and to find a certified AirSystems Cleaning Specialist near you,visit www.nadca.com.

(NAPS)—The holiday seasonwith all its indulgences can makeit difficult to stay focused on fit-ness, but a few expert tips shouldhelp you stay on target and in theright spirit. Here are some suggestions

from Lisa Dorfman, RD, the“Running Nutritionist™”: • Find the time. Although it

may be tempting to skip your ex-ercise routine when you have somany holiday events to attend,try to stay true to your normalschedule. Exercising on a regular basis can help give you the stamina youneed to survive the holiday season in good health. Get your calendar out andpencil in regular exercise sessions. • Find opportunities to exercise within holiday activities. Going to the

mall? Park a few rows farther away so you have to walk. Planning a familyget-together? Schedule one with skating or sledding so you can burn off somecalories. • Make sure you’re getting the proper nutrients. If you’re ramping up your

activity to keep from gaining weight during the holidays, remember, regular,intense physical activity can deplete your body of essential vitamins and min-erals, such as magnesium.i Research by the USDA shows that seven out of 10 people have a magne-

sium-deficient diet.ii Magnesium is an essential mineral for your health, and if you’re not eating

enough magnesium-rich foods, such as beans, nuts and vegetables, you maywant to consider a dietary supplement like Slow-Mag® Tablets, which com-bine magnesium and calcium, giving you two important nutrients your bodyneeds. Magnesium is one of the minerals that serve as a catalyst for the enzyme

involved in energy production.i• Don’t over-exercise. Some people are tempted to over-exercise to com-

pensate for the season’s fattening foods, but this can backfire. “Shifting intohigh gear can cause some unwanted side effects, such as muscle weaknessand fatigue,” says Dorfman. “Make sure your exercise regimen matchesyour nutrition, especially if you ramp up your exertion during the holidayseason, when you’re not eating the proper foods.” Don’t discount the temperature. Exercising in cold weather can be more

draining, burn more calories and deplete the body of electrolytes faster thanexercising in warm weather. To be sure you’re getting enough magnesium, check out the Magnesium

Calculator tool at www.slowmag.com. Make sure your nutrition matches your exertion, or you may find yourself

feeling tired, weaker and lethargic during the busy holiday season.

(NAPS)—Even when your family is rushing off to school,practice, meetings or what have you, you can still enjoy whole-some meals and snacks. Here are some suggestions fromcelebrity chef and spokesperson George Duran, the author of“Take This Dish And Twist It” and the host of “The UltimateCake Off” on TLC and “Ham on the Street” and “Secret Lifeof…” on Food Network.• Quick Morning Pancakes: Make the batter the night before

and put it in an empty, cleaned Hunt’s plastic ketchup bottle. Inthe morning, shake the bottle (add more liquid if needed) andsqueeze onto a hot skillet. Cook until done, turning only once.• Unsmushable Sandwiches: Put a sandwich in a resealable

plastic bag, zip it until near the very end, blow it up like a bal-loon and then seal it. The extra air cushions the sandwich soother items in the lunch box won’t crush it.• For a quick and tasty treat or a surprisingly original

dessert, make these Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Pops in ad-vance.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Pops4 bananas, slightly firm and not overripe, peeled8 popsicle sticks 1 cup Creamy Peter Pan peanut butter1 cup jelly of your choicePam nonstick sprayToppings such as mini- chocolate chips, crushed granola cereal/or crushed peanuts, optional

Cut each banana in half and gently insert a popsicle stickinto the center. Put the bananas on a cookie sheet lined withparchment paper and freeze. Heat peanut butter on low in asmall saucepan. Mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Re-move from heat. Generously brush each frozen banana withpeanut butter. Roll in topping and cover with plastic wrap, ifdesired. Spray a parchment-lined cookie sheet with Pam non-stick spray and place banana pops on sheet. Freeze for at least2 hours. Gently heat jelly in a small saucepan and mix untilsmooth. Serve frozen pops with warm jelly or chocolate saucein small shot glasses or ramekins. Makes 8.Ingredients are important. Peter Pan peanut butter is avail-

able in eight flavors that the whole family can enjoy. Pam non-stick spray can make everything from stovetop cooking tobaking and grilling just plain easier. It even works on spatulasand mixing bowls. Visit www.conagrafoods.com for more recipe ideas.

NAPS)—If you have a warm spot for portable spaceheaters, you’re not alone. According to the Association ofHome Appliance Manufacturers, they’re used by more than53 percent of Americans to supplement heating in theirhomes. One reason may be that, as the Alliance to Save Energy

points out, lowering your thermostat by just 1 degree in theheating season can save you 5 percent in heating costs. Youcan save hundreds of dollars in heating bills annually—anentire oil or gas bill, for many homeowners—if you simplyturn down your central heating and turn on a portableheater in the room you’re in the most. Home Heaters TodayPortable heaters are as safe to use as any kitchen appliance

if used properly. They use the same amount of electricity as acoffee-maker, electric griddle or toaster oven. Numeroussafety features includecool-touch handles andcasings, devices to pre-vent overheating, andtip-over switches that au-tomatically shut theheater off when tippedover. A few Honeywellheaters also offer anAuto-Off Safety Sensorthat senses when an object gets too close and shuts theheater off until the object is removed—a great feature for ac-tive households with children or pets.The digital controls, programmable thermostats and En-

ergy-Smart controls on some Honeywell heaters helpportable heaters use energy more efficiently while maintain-ing room comfort. There are many designs—sleek towers, compact units or

baseboard styles that fit into any home decor. They comewith new features such as oscillation and 36- degree heatingor with special finishes in many shades. For the nostalgic, thetraditional radiator style is still available.What Else You Can DoOther ways to save on energy costs, the U.S. Department

of Energy suggests, include:• Caulk and weather-strip windows and exterior doors.• Carefully select, install and use window treatments or

coverings.• Properly insulate and air-seal your home.• Plant windbreaks—trees and shrubs—around your

home.See How You Can SaveFor more information, including how much money

portable heaters could save you, see www.honeywellheatsav-ings.com or call (800) 332-1110. You can increase your comfort and decrease your home

heating costs with the help of a portable heater.

2009–2010 Federal Energy TaxCredit Program Ends Dec. 31, 2010

(NAPS)—Even though the heat is on for

homeowners wanting to

cash in and make energy-

related home improve-

ments before the end of

the year, there’s still time

to take advantage of the

2009–2010 Federal En-

ergy Tax Credit.

Passed as part of the EconomicStimulus Bill and set to expire atthe end of the year, the 2009-2010 Energy Tax Credit allowshomeowners to claim tax creditsequal to 30 percent of productand installation costs—up to$1,500—for qualified energy-re-lated home improvements. The taxcredit applies as a direct reductionof taxes owed.As the deadline approaches, now is the perfect time to

conduct an energy audit of your home to determine whichenergy upgrades will provide the most bang for the buck. Anenergy audit looks at the efficiency of a home’s heating andcooling system, ways to conserve hot water and electricity,and helps determine exactly where a house may be wastingenergy. These energy assessments can be done by an individ-ual homeowner or a professional energy auditor. The average household will pay $2,200 this year on en-

ergy costs, with heating and cooling accounting for nearlyhalf that amount (source: Alliance to Save Energy). Thesecosts are projected to keep rising for the foreseeable future.The good news: There’s plenty that consumers can do tomake a lasting difference when it comes to home energymanagement and do something positive for the environmentat the same time. Installing an energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air-

conditioning (HVAC) system can provide homeowners withmuch-needed relief from rising utility bills and energy costs.Top-quality HVAC companies like Trane offer a variety ofhigh-performing and high-quality systems for the home.

An additional benefit to making improvements can beseen in a home’s value. According to the Appraisal Institute,for every dollar saved in annual utility costs, homeownerscan expect to add $20 to their home’s market value.When looking at more efficient HVAC systems for your

home, it is important to remember two useful performancerating systems: the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER)

and the Annual Fuel UtilizationEfficiency (AFUE). They comparesystems on different scales, and ahigher number or percentage in-dicates a more efficient system. Sofor homeowners looking to staycool before the end of the year,the Trane XL20i air conditioner,for example, has a SEER of up to20.0, making this product one ofthe most efficient on the market. When it comes to heating, the

AFUE rating is key to helpingfind the most efficient product foryour home. According to the U.S.Energy Information Administra-tion, natural gas prices will jump8.2 percent, followed by homeheating oil at 6.6 percent, in2011, leaving homeowners withhigh-priced home heating costsfor the coming winter months. Ifupgrading your home’s heating

system fits the bill, consider installing an efficient furnacewith an AFUE rating of 95, which uses significantly less en-ergy.If you are thinking of making home energy improvements

this year and using the tax credit, it’s important to getstarted as soon as possible.Here are a few key points to keep in mind as you contem-

plate making the best energy upgrades to your home:• Not every product qualifies for the credit;• Products must be for the taxpayer’s primary residence;• Check with a Trane Comfort Specialist dealer and tax

pro so you know what systems qualify and to ensure thatyou have the proper documents and tax forms;• Products must be placed in service from Jan. 1, 2009

through Dec. 31, 2010;• Products must have a manufacturer’s Certification State-

ment to qualify;• Save all receipts and paperwork.For more information on energy-related savings and tax

credit information, please visit trane.com/Residential/Trane-Owners/Energy-Tax-Credit-Summary.
