George Keegans’ family thanks the many friends who tirelessly inquired with concerns, caring, questions & prayers, during this most difficult time of what was to have been three days in a hospital but turned into two months when it was determined he’d contracted an infectious disease while there. George was a fighter, but ultimately gave up the fight on the afternoon of Veterans’ Day, and passed over to be with Our Lord. His strength, determination, brightness, high intelligence quotient, auto/electrical/mechanical genius, love for muscle cars i.e. 1970 Dodge Challenger (owned many), also Generation One Mustangs, and many 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air autos, were just some of the things he was known for. Thanks again, folks. A brother, gone too soon, at age 61.

Give us a call today to learn more.

What’s Your Emergency?

2010 GE black glass-top range, selfcleaning, oven in good condition, clean, $200; 592-2197.

eat pumps are energy-efficient systems that work well in Florida’s climate, but a heat pump’s emergency heat or auxiliary heat setting can increase costs if you don’t understand it. It’s essentially back-up heat (expensive electric strips that activate when outside air stays very cold, or when you raise the temperature on your thermostat too quickly).

For most heat pumps, the back-up heat source is electric resistance (strip) heat. When the pump can no longer pull enough heat from outside to meet the heating load of the house, the electric resistance heat comes on and supplements the heat pump.

“Your thermostat should be raised in one degree increments. Raising the temperature by several degrees at one time will call for the heat strips to come on,” said Derek Chadwell, WFEC Energy Services.

So when, if ever, should you use the emergency heat setting on your thermostat? The short answer is that you should only set your thermostat to emergency heat when your heat pump stops working completely or another emergency situation. You should also call a professional HVAC contractor for help. Otherwise, just keep your thermostat set on heat.

When you turn your thermostat to emergency heat, your heat pump stops trying to extract heat from outside to heat your home inside. Instead, it only uses the back-up heat strips for heating. This basically makes your heat pump into an electric furnace. 75183002 Your heat pump may run longer when it gets really cold outside, but that’s okay compared to how much money you’d be spending to use heat strips.

For more information about running heat pumps efficiently, contact one of our energy experts today by calling 800.342.7400 or visiting our website, westflorida.coop.

determine how much energy your home uses with the current information.

It will also allow you to change certain information to compare how much you can save when you make home improvements like adding insulation.

The last tool we want to feature is our Lighting Calculator. It will compare the cost to operate several types of bulbs: halogen, CFL, LED and regular incandescent. Simply use the sliding scale to enter the wattage, how many bulbs you are using and how many hours you’re using them each day.

The lighting tool will then calculate what your costs would be using each type of bulb. The tool also predicts the amount of carbon you would be producing, gives you an estimated annual savings and predicts how many kilowatt hours you will save by switching bulb types. 32574002 Saving energy is not always easy, but the right mix of tools can go a long way when it comes to making educated decisions on how to make an impact. Check out each of these tools and see for yourself how a few small changes can make a big difference.

nterested in saving energy? There’s a tool for that on WFEC’s website, www.westflorida.coop. Home energy use often goes unnoticed because it is largely an intangible good.

What’s Your Emergency?

2010 GE black glass-top range, selfcleaning, oven in good condition, clean, $200; 592-2197.

eat pumps are energy-efficient systems that work well in Florida’s climate, but a heat pump’s emergency heat or auxiliary heat setting can increase costs if you don’t understand it. It’s essentially back-up heat (expensive electric strips that activate when outside air stays very cold, or when you raise the temperature on your thermostat too quickly).

For most heat pumps, the back-up heat source is electric resistance (strip) heat. When the pump can no longer pull enough heat from outside to meet the heating load of the house, the electric resistance heat comes on and supplements the heat pump.

“Your thermostat should be raised in one degree increments. Raising the temperature by several degrees at one time will call for the heat strips to come on,” said Derek Chadwell, WFEC Energy Services.

So when, if ever, should you use the emergency heat setting on your thermostat? The short answer is that you should only set your thermostat to emergency heat when your heat pump stops working completely or another emergency situation. You should also call a professional HVAC contractor for help. Otherwise, just keep your thermostat set on heat.

When you turn your thermostat to emergency heat, your heat pump stops trying to extract heat from outside to heat your home inside. Instead, it only uses the back-up heat strips for heating. This basically makes your heat pump into an electric furnace. 75183002 Your heat pump may run longer when it gets really cold outside, but that’s okay compared to how much money you’d be spending to use heat strips.

For more information about running heat pumps efficiently, contact one of our energy experts today by calling 800.342.7400 or visiting our website, westflorida.coop.

determine how much energy your home uses with the current information.

It will also allow you to change certain information to compare how much you can save when you make home improvements like adding insulation.

The last tool we want to feature is our Lighting Calculator. It will compare the cost to operate several types of bulbs: halogen, CFL, LED and regular incandescent. Simply use the sliding scale to enter the wattage, how many bulbs you are using and how many hours you’re using them each day.

The lighting tool will then calculate what your costs would be using each type of bulb. The tool also predicts the amount of carbon you would be producing, gives you an estimated annual savings and predicts how many kilowatt hours you will save by switching bulb types. 32574002 Saving energy is not always easy, but the right mix of tools can go a long way when it comes to making educated decisions on how to make an impact. Check out each of these tools and see for yourself how a few small changes can make a big difference.

Chipola Regional Arts Association - Marianna Tuesday, January 19; Noon Jim’s Buffet, Marianna Artist’s Guild of Northwest Florida will be the program. This is open to the public.

George Keegans’ family thanks the many friends who tirelessly inquired with concerns, caring, questions & prayers, during this most difficult time of what was to have been three days in a hospital but turned into two months when it was determined he’d contracted an infectious disease while there. George was a fighter, but ultimately gave up the fight on the afternoon of Veterans’ Day, and passed over to be with Our Lord. His strength, determination, brightness, high intelligence quotient, auto/electrical/mechanical genius, love for muscle cars i.e. 1970 Dodge Challenger (owned many), also Generation One Mustangs, and many 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air autos, were just some of the things he was known for. Thanks again, folks. A brother, gone too soon, at age 61.

Give us a call today to learn more.

Culbreth Named Employee of the Year

Rocket Stove Class - Chipley Tuesday, January 19; 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Washington County Ag Center, 1424 Jackson Ave., Chipley Rocket stoves are an efficient and alternative cooking method that can be used in emergency, disaster, and camping situations. The design of the rocket stove allows it to operate on about half as much fuel as a traditional open fire, and it can use smaller-diameter wood. We’ll demonstrate how to make a rocket stove, share tips on safely using rocket stoves, and even prepare a dish you can sample. Registration fee is $5 and includes class materials. Space is limited.
