OOO Oe Pe Re Sr a" FUNCTIONAL, ALSO ATTRACTIVE Modern Home Carries Heavier Power Loads keep pace with modern aie living, wiring in four out of every five homes needs upgrading. With twice as many electric appliances and much more lighting than they origin- ally had, most homes 15 or more years old are limping. along with wiring virtually unchanged since the house was built, The result is that when ap- pliances go on, lights often flocker or dim, the TV picture shrinks or winks, radios fade po fu: . Other symp- ted wiring in. pros "octopus connections" in outlets and extension cords strung around rooms. In an adequately wired house, a family can take full advan- tage of the electric appliances it contains, conveniently, safely and with assurance that there is sufficient power to permit them to-operate at peak per- formance. For example, full house- power wiring permits the use of an increasingly popular ap- pliance, the room air condition- er, without the need for addi- tional wiring. This is the kind of wiring al- ways found in Gold Medallion Homes, which are all-electric homes designed around the con- cept of modern electric living. Wiring in these homes must conform to the American Stan- dard Requirements for Residen- tial Wiring, which are an ex- cellent guide for the adequate wiring of older homes, too. One requirement for ade- quate wiring is a 100 ampere electric service entrance. In older homes this would replace the 30 or 60 ampere service en- trances with which most of them originally were equipped. Another feature of an ade- quately wired home is the gen- erous use of branch circuits. These include general-purpose circuits for lights, radios and the like; small appliance cir- cuits for electric housewares such as toasters, waffle irons and broilers, and heavy-duty cir- cults to serve single major elec- tric appliances, such as elec- tric ranges.
