Hundreds of owners of such systems report fuel bills lower than they forâ€" merly pald to heat their homes. This amazing performanc»e coupled with the fact that every room in the house hests One important point to bear in mind, however, is thas a unit assembled from the parts mentioned above does not necessarily produce a good air condiâ€" tioner. Each factor must be properly cnginegred, and the duct work accuâ€" rately designed and installed for the system to work efficiently. Simplicity in Design simplicity is the keynotc of design. There are not a great number of movâ€" ing parts ¢so wear out, or intricate mechanisms and valves to get out of order. The essential parts of a direct fired lunit are an oil gas or coal burner, a furnace, secondary heating surface, a humidifier, a motor driven blower, filâ€" ters, automatic controls, and a duc: system for distributing the conditioned als. If they had need of an artomobile for business and convenience it afâ€" fords, thry would not hesitate to buy it just because they think automobiles are not perfected yet; neither should the home owner deprive himself of the economy and comfors of air conditionâ€" ing. An air conditioning system, built as a coâ€"ordinated unit by an experâ€" ierced manufacturer, properly installâ€" ed with a duct system deosigned by a competent engineer, will prove far less troublesom: than the highest priced car on the market, for an air conâ€" ditioning system is not a maze of maâ€" chinery. Home owners and prospective home owners often ask, "Shall I install air conditioning in my home? Is it perâ€" fected yet?" . In the same breath they complain of the excessive fuel bills with their present heating systems, of the stale air, of the and dryness, and of the hot, muggy discomfort in the summer time. Air Conditioning Home for Comfort and Health Simplicity in Design Now a Feature. Air Conditioning Now Looked upon as Aid to Health. To Keep the Home Upâ€"toâ€"date, Air Conditioning is Reeccmmended. This simple yet pleasing cottage Gesigned by Greensides Langley, Toronto architects, utilizes every possible foot of space. Note the sbsence of long hallways and the conâ€" sequent large size rooms. The living room is large and partleulnrl,\ weill designed permitting comfortable furniâ€" ture arrangement. The stairway is conveniently located â€"B 4 5 EMEX T Lark oxy The filters should have a large surâ€" face in contact with the air passing through them, in order not to get clogâ€" ged up too quickly and cut down the air delivery of the fan. Not only do the RAlters removs most of the dirt and dus: from the house; but they catch Vmualh all pollen. Sufferers from hay fever and other polisn fevers buy air condiâ€" tioning for‘ this reason alon», for they find while they ars> in the conditioned atmosphere they are afforded instanâ€" tangeous relief. The fioors, woodwork and furniture are bett>r preserved and prevented from arying out and cracking. In time, the savings due to less frequer® paintâ€" ing, and repairs to the woodwork and roplacement of furniture represent a sizable amount of money. evenly and uniformly, with hardly a noticeable temperaturé differential beâ€" tween floor and ceiling (this lattor fact prcbably explains the> freedom from colds reported by owners of air condiâ€" ticned hcuses), justifies air conditionâ€" ing as we know it toâ€"day. Yet, there are many more fin» features to be fcund with air conditioning such, for example. as automatic humidification. which is rapidly coming to ke recogsâ€" nized as a necessity in the house. Seen as Health Aid Not only does the family feel more fit, since the delicate memoranes of the nose and throat are kers moistened. but the "chilly" feeling caused by rapid evaporation from the body in dry air is eliminated. For every 9 per cent. of Telative humidity increased in the house, it is possible to drop the temâ€" perature cne degree and still maintain the same "effective" temperature or reeling of warmth and comfort. That is! why owners of air conditioned houses will sell you they feel just as comfortâ€" awsle at 69 degrees as they used to feel at 72 Cgress in a house not equipped with a humidifier.

In the dGday time the cool basement air is filtered and recirculated through the house by means of a system of supply ducts. At the same time the warm air is drawn frem the house by means of another set of "return" ducts. After sundown the cool, refreshing outdoor air is used instead of the basement air. In this way the temperature, is actually reâ€" duced from 8 to 15 degrees, and the adds:d circulation and ventilation proâ€" duce a cooling effect comparable with a refrigeration system. ~Yet the blower, cpergcing intermittently, uses almost a negligib‘> amount of electrical current. In the winter time, the same blower is used to circulate the warm, filtered, moistened air to each room in the air conditioners provides efficient heat transfer and remarkably low stack temperatures result. No more heat is lost up the chimney than is necessary to maintain draft for combustion. A really remarkable feature is the sumâ€" mer cooling that can be obtained.

Biut when it reaches the point where it becomes a nuisance, it is high tim> something was done about it. That remedial something is just as simple as the cause of the trouble. Since the condensate forms as a reâ€" sult of contact betwen warm air an cold pipes, all you need do is prevent that contact. Cover the pipes with insulation (which is just as effecgive in kzseping heat out as keeping it in). At least a dozen satisfactory types of standard pips insulating products are THE CORRECT HEIGHT By mounting the blower on rubber and using flexible canvas connections tkotween the ducts and the air condiâ€" tisner casing, all sound and vibration is reduced to an absolut> minimum. Contrary to public opinion the funâ€" damertal design of domestic air condiâ€" tioning is not continually changing. While continued research may bring about minor refinements to air condiâ€" tioning systems, the presentâ€"day units will be adaptabl> cso these innovations much the same way that it is possible to add modern radios and heaters to oid model automobiles and still have the same operating efficiency as the new cars which have these features Duilt into them. A home tiuilt toâ€"day. even at moderâ€" ate cost, and planned without any proâ€" vision for air conditioning, may be considered â€" cbsolete before the lass single is tacked down, according to many building authorities.
