Church Services - 9:15 a.m. - Ringwood church A new era in home climate control begins About forty-five years ago, scientists began developing a revolutionary heat ing device that uses the heat of the earthjs atmosphere. They called it a heat pump. Today, it is the only commercially avai/able heating system that provides an jlnswer to shrinking supplies of fuel oil and gas. How the heal pump works. Basically, the heat pump moves heat from one place to another. Using elec tricity to run the device, it extracts heat from a limitless source--the heat in out door air. During winter, enough heat remains in the air--even on the coldest and cloudiest days--to be extracted by the pump and transferred indoors as clean, flameless heat. And during warm weather, the process automatically reverses, removing excess indoor heat and humidity--like an air conditioner. In short, the heat pump does the job of both a furnace and an air conditioner. But there's an important difference. The heat pump produces more than 1V2 units of heat energy for every unit it consumes. That's better efficiency than any other current heating system. lt% ready. It's ideal for new homes because it won't be obsolete in ten years. It's not depend ent on the fossil fuels that may not be available in the future. To the homeowner, that means significant long-term savings on heating costs. The heat pump is a big step in the conservation of scarce fuels. And here in northern Illinois, the electricity you would use to capture the heat comes mainly from coal and nuclear energy, rather than scarce oil and gas. To get the full advantages of the heat pump, it's important to get a quality prod uct, properly installed and reliably serv iced. For the namie of qualified installers in your area, call G. W.
