One result of the growing in-

Another important feature of
electric heat is the simplified
method of payment. Heat is paid
for after use, not before.

No money is laid out in ad-

USE DIFFERENT TYPES

Where electric heating is in-
talled in individual units, it is
often advisable to make use of
different types in various rooms.
Radiation type units each have
ilar advantage for heat-

> requirements.
Economy is achieved since no
basement or fuel storage apace
needed, and often the entire
homney apd beatin, ducts can

house is, Of course, different, but
on the average, for ‘existing
homes, the cost of electric heat
installation is usually less than
other systems.

For new construction, savings
jwp to $500 are possible, due to
ease and simplicity of dnstalla-
ition, and elimination of chim-
neys, furnaces, ducts and fuel
storage bins or tanks.

With electric heat installed,
| maintenance troubles are avoid-
‘ed, There are no level problems
and nothing that can leak or
