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.

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.
