For people who bought electric heat pumps, cold weather can be bad news indeed. Because heat pumps lose capacity as the outside temperature drops. At some . point, usually right around freezing, they need help from a backup heating system. Usually, it's electric resistance heating, so you end up heating your ^ home with one of the costliest heating systems just when the weather gets really cold. In contrast, gas furnaces and boilers have no trouble coping efficiently with severe winters. Whatever the outside temperature, the new high efficiency models can continue to squeeze up to 95% of the available heat out of every • cubic foot of gas. So you're getting maximum efficiency to minimize heating costs in bitter cold weather. Another argument for a gas furnace or boiler is the cost of natural gas itself. : Today, it's the least expensive fuel available in this area, and current forecasts indicate it will continue to maintain a strong competitive advantage for years to come. If you're thinking about adding to or replacing your home heating system, we strongly suggest you qo with natural gas. It's the only way to be sure you won't be having second thoughts when winter comes to Illinois. NORTHERN ILLINOIS GAS One of the NICOR » basic energy companies T~
