QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT BUILT-IN
ELECTRIC HEAT
Electric heat is an advanced and superior concept of home. comfort.
Here are some of the questions we've been asked about it.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
The most widely used types are
illustrated at right. Because
electric heat is built in, - there is
little interference with living
space, each room has its own
heat source.

IS IT SAFE?
DOES IT NEED MUCH SERVICING?
It's as safe and troublefree as electric light.
No. There are no moving parts in tlie electric
IS IT EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL?
In general, the original cost of an electric heat-
ing system is less than that of any other type
of quality equipment. Actual installed cost will
vary according to type of heating unit used,
home size, method of home consti•u tion and
additional insulation requirements.

CAN I PUT IT IN THE WHOLE HOUSE?
Yes, you can Eswitch the whole house over to
electric heat. In this case, additional insulation
will be required, plus storm sash and storm
doors all around. For greatest heating economy
and summer comfort, regardless of type of
heating system, good insulation always pays off.
WHAT DOES IT COST TO USE ELECTRIC HEAT?
as much as you' would imagine and you get
more benefits!
In June 1959, Detroit Edison added a new,
lower step to the residential electric rate. Now,
when more than 750 kilowatt-hours of electricity
are used per month, the amount over 750 costs

forced air units, where low velocity fans or
blowers are used.

Various factors, including family living habits,
affect operating cost,'so a hard-and-fast answer
is impossible. A rough rule of thumb is 250-280
per square foot of heated space, annually. But
there's little need to guess. An 'electric heating
contractor can calculate actual -first - cost and
operating cost quickly and accurately.
Electric heat will cost more—but probably not

CLEANLINESS—Nothing is burned to make
smoke, soot or fumes. Result: walls, draperies,
furniture and floor coverings stay clean longer.

A feature of every Total Electric Gold Medal-
lion Home is its electric heating system. Watch
for announcements of "Gold Medallion Home
openings.
WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?
'
There's free literature at your
Edison office, or mail-the cou-,
pon below. Another source,
especially for a cost estimate,
is the eelectric heating con- -
tractor who displays this emblem. He's had
speCial training in making accurate estimates.
He has also pledged himself to meet industry
standards of installation. _
