SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 20 -FRIDAY, MARCH 23,1979 When is the best time to buy your air conditioners When/fhe cold winds blow, the very last thing most people think about is how to keep the inside of their homes cool. But winter is really the best time to think ahead to spring and summer, say home economists from Whirlpool Corporation. For instance, picture this scene . . . you're eating sup­ per in a sticky, humid kitchen and the heat is sweltering. After a few restless nights and uncomfortable meals, you decide that you've got to get an air conditioner. According to the home eco­ nomists, you've just cho­ sen the worst time to buy. Buy before heatwave The best time to buy an air conditioner, they advise, is before the hottest summer days arr ive . Be tween January and May, air con­ ditioner sales are generally slower so you can shop in less crowded stores and get the full attention of the appliance salesman. Prices may also be lower when the temperature is lower. Think about what your re­ quirements are. For exam­ ple, it's important to select an air conditioner of the right capacity to meet your needs. An air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the air. A unit that's too large cools a room too quickly, be­ fore it can do enough de- humidifying, so the room feels cold and clammy. A too-small unit can't cool ad­ equately. Make sure you know the dimensions of the room or rooms you want to cool. Fans save energy Some models have a fan How to improve your home improvements.

Between January and May, air conditioner sales are generally slower, so you can shop in less crowded stores and get the rail attention of the appliance salesman. Prices may also be lower when the temperature is lower. control that can be set for continuous fan operation or intermittent fan operation which can help save energy. During intermittent opera­ tion, the fan turns on only when the room temperature begins to climb and addi­ tional cooling is needed. A variety of air direction controls are available. Some have two-way controls that direct cool air to the left or right. Others offer four-way controls that aim the air up or down and right or left. Consider room position In making your choice, consider where in the room the air conditioner will be in­ stalled. Will you want cooled air directed toward or away from the door, directly toward you, or in yet another direction? Some models have an air changer control with three choices: circulating room air only for fastest cooling, bringing in outside air to alle­ viate that "closed-in" feel­ ing, or exhausting room air to the outdoors. Before you go shopping you shou ld know: How many rooms and connecting halls do you want to cool? What is the size of each room and ha l l? Are the rooms sunny or shaded? How many windows are in each room and what size and type are they? Are room walls insulated? What about the ceilings? What electric voltage is available? Beat the heat! Following these sugges­ tions offered by Whirlpool home economists can help make your air conditioner shopping trip much easier-- and you'll be a step ahead in beating those uncomfort­ able hot summer days and nights that will soon be here.
