It’s an oil fired space heater that looks as charming as an old country fireplace, takes up almost no space and will heat the entire house from almost any comer you care to put it. Recently we visited the beautiful brick rambling ranch home of Frank and Muriel Mackenzie on the second line of kinloss, just north of Lucknow and saw one of these Dovre Heatilators in operation. It was doing a good job of heating the entire house from a space three feet square in the basement The electric furnace in another room had been shut down. The Dovre Heatilator, about the size of a 27-inch TV, works quietly, without any need of electric power and at a fuel cost so low that the Mackenzies will probably recover the price and instal­ lation in about two years. All you need with this Dovre Heatilator is an oil tank and chimney Frank Mackenzie of Kinioss. and it will run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Frank and Muriel built their house 22 years ago after retiring from the surrounding farm. He installed an electric furnace because hydro then was low in cost, but he put in an air­ tight wood stove because he had lots of wood from the nearby bush. Besides, they like wood heat; when they moved into the old log farmhouse back in 1946 they even had coal oil lamps. But illness has cost Frank the use of his right hand, so bundling wood into the stove was a problem. They were burning 12 to 14 cords a winter. And leaving a lighted wood stove for more than a day was a concern. With a threatening electric heating bill of $2,000, Frank called Chisholm Fuels. They suggested the Dovre Heatilator. In jig time it was installed, a 250-gallon oil tank in another room. This unit comes in two sizes, a maximum 35,400 btu’s an hour or 48,900 (as the Mackenzies have). There are six heat settings. At the heart of the stove is a catalyst creating the efficient fuel-air mixture that explains the bright blue-orange flame you see through the door’s glass window. Efficiency is 80 per cent. From October to mid-January, the Mackenzies burned $350 in oil. Find out all you want to know about this remarkable unit by calling Chisholm Fuels at 529-7524, 357-2820 or 1-800-799-3363. There are printed specs too. The Dovre Heatilator F750. (3Ai&fic£ni 9uet& - cetefaaiinq. 60 yeeuiA in fuel faiMne&A. □ CD o ■U
