"They told us total home comfort

what it is",s Betty Bisaillion. ,
When Bruce and Betty Bisaillion built their home in
Essex three years ago, they put a lot of thought
into how they would heat it. :We wanted more than
lust a heating system," explains Bruce We wanted
something to give us comfort all year round, and
this is it. •
'It' is on electric warm air furnace with !*Gilt -in arr
conditioning, an electrostatic air cleaner and a -
power, humidifier. Bruce considers the humidifier an
important part of the system. "By inletting moisture
into the air ydu can keep the heat level down, save
money, and still be perfectly comfortable."
Betty particularly enjoys the cleanliness of the
system, "1 expected it to be cleaner than our old
house because its electric, she comments, but not
that much cleaner! I just couldn t believe the
difference! I've got far less housework and much
more. free time than I ever had before,.
The electrostatic air cleaner takes pollen as well as
dust out of the air At the he'rlht of the hay fever.

Avenue`iust as fast as the law allows to get back

I can get relief. Andi,don't core how long heat
waves bast any more, because the air conditioning
always let's us all get a good night's sleep.
-We like the evenness of the system, winter and
summer," comments Bruce. We con lust set our
thermostat and leave it year round. There are no
hot spots, no coed spots. And because there's no
-flame, we feel far safer than we did with our old
system. Now, we dont worry when were away
from home
The Bisaillions are very enthusiastic about their
electr'ic'tomfort conditioning system. There s just
nothing to cc pare with it in terms of Cleanliness
and comfo . says Betty It makes living so much
more pleasant
Bruce sums _t up. It s the greatest system. I ve ever
lived with the most healthful, the most comfortable..
