"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" Choose the right equipment for the size of your room From Page 1 easiest way to ensure the unit won't waste a lot of power is by checking its energy-efficiency rating. By September, 1991, con- sumers will simply by able to look at new government labels to know if a product meets certain efficiency standards. But this sum- mer, consumers should ask department managers or shop owners for the ratings of units. The efficiency rating will be somewhere on a scale from 5.0 to 9.0. Experts at Ontario's energy ministry say a rating of 8.0 or higher is preferred for two reasons. -- Savings that result from the lower cost of running a more efficient air condi- tioner can offset the higher price of a better quality unit in the long run. -- At present, air condition- ing accounts for about eight per cent of the household electricity used in Ontario. More efficient equipment puts less strain on the energy supply. This helps reduce the power "brown- outs' many communities experience during summer periods of peak electrical use and supports en- vironmental protection. Another label consumers should look for comes from the Canada Gas Association (CGA), Canadian Stan- dards Association (CSA) or Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada (ULC). Only air conditioners certified by one of these organizations are considered safe for use in Ontario. In addition to looking at price and quality it's impor- tant to ensure service is available. If the repair shop's in Halifax, snow may be falling in Haliburton before a unit can be ship- ped, fixed and returned. Air conditioners are very heavy to carry, so a shop offering in-home service will be a big advantage to some consumers. New air conditioners are normally covered by a manufacturer's warranty. If the warranty is issued by the store, consumers should make sure all details of the coverage are spelled out in writing. Also, they should remember the warranty's not worth the paper it's written on if the store goes out of business, and should check out the shop's reputa- tion before they buy.
