During the changeable weath- er of spring and fall, room heaters are especially desir able: to help avoid the expense of turning on the central heat» ing system. Even in homes which lack central heating, an arrange- ment of room heating individu- ally controlled by thermostats is often a good substitute to help maintain an even balance of heat throughout the house. Those room heaters which offer fan circulated forced ait heat are, by far, the most sat- isfactory and most economical for complete room heating. The fan draws in the aif from the upper levels of the room and spreads the heated air evenly along the floor, help- ing maintain an even tem- perature in the "living zone ot the room. In addition, the constant flow of air across the heating ele- ment speeds up and increases the transfer of heat from. the element to the air. Greater. efficiency and economy results because a larger volume of ait is heated without a corre sponding increase in fuel com, |sumption. , | Another virtue of room heat: ers is that they require nd. messy maintenance.
