Hurry! for QUIET QUALITY buy FORD see yourv Eager Beaver Dealer S FORD 3936 WEST IMAM STREET MeHEHHY, ILLIMOIS Straight answers and full truths; about electric heat (for the p@<o>p!e wfro© plan to buy or build this year) Frank answers about electric heat for those of you who are planning to spend 20 thousand dollars, or more, for a new home that you'll probably live in for the next 10 or 20 years. You owe it to yourself to investigate the mafiV advantages of electric heat. As a background, you should know there are 8 million people in the United States now living in electrically heated homes. Estimates indicate that this year 27% of homes being built will have electric heat. And, by 1970, over half of all new homes will be heated electrically. Let's look into the why's and wherefore's. Just how happily can you live \ with electric heat? Properly installed, the comfort and convenience of electric heat far surpasses anything you've ever experienced before. For example: you can step fjpm your shower in the dead of winter and still feel warm. Baby can play on the floor when it's 20 below outside, and not be chilled. You'll even discover yourself cleaning less because electric heat is so dirtfree. Proper installation assures comfort Commonwealth Edison will be pleased to consult with your architect or contractor to assure that your electric heating system is designed for your house and installed in accordance with approved engineering standards. Insulation should also be installed acaLL: i •] '-•)£* hi! Heavy black line indicates proper insulation. cording to recommended standards. When an average six-room house is properly insulated at the time of construction, it will add less than 1% to the total cost. Good insulation will not only repay this investment in less than 4 years by cutting heat loss, but will add greatly to your comfort. And in the summer your home will be cooler, too. With electric heat, you can pick the type of heat you want for your new home. There are 5 basic types of flameless electric heating equipment. Depending on your heating requirements, one system can be used separately, or several may be teamed together. If space is at a premium, or you want room-by-room temperature control, electric baseboard units or ceiling cable probably will work best. The electric heat pump either heats or cools, depending on the outside temperature. Electric central heating systems which use electrically-heated warm air or electrically- heated hot water are available in a variety of types to fit any need. They can be combined w ith electric central airconditioning systems to provide yearround comfort. Electric wall panel heaters provide radiant heat and are best suited for bath and dressing rooms or other areas whene space is limited. What about the cost of electric heat? All things considered, electric heat will probably cost43 you somewhat more than gas heat. For example, you should expect to spend about $200 per year for electric heat in a properly insulated six-room house--or about $60 more than gas heat. This does not take into account main- " tenance and decorating savings with electric heat. However, electric heat r>tes have steadily declined. Since 1958, Commonwealth Edison has reduced electric heat rates more than 50% and still further reductions are expected for the future. Electric Heat is designed to outlast your mortgage (even if it's for 30 years). After 15 years of operation, during which you would have little, if any, maintenance, look what has happened to your friend with gas heat. During this same 15 years, chances are he will have replaced his furnace (at $300)--paid out another $40 to run the pilot light 15 summers, afid paid an additional $225 for furnace cleaning, maintenance, and a big supply of filters. Electric heat's great for growing families, too. How many of your friends have outgrown their homes a few short years after they bought them? They plan to add a room or two, and come face-to-face with the old bugaboo--heating the new area. With gas, frequently they must buy a new and bigger furnace or settle for Iessthan- satisfactory space heaters. Not so with electric heat". You add as much heating capacity as you need to your new wing almost as simply and inexpensively as adding new wiring. That's the story! Anyone about to spend the money a house costs these days ought to know he's spending his money wisely. We happen to think that your heating dollar will be far better invested in modern electric heat, and we've tried to show you why.
