Free. Electric Flat Rate Water Heaters
N ORDER to secure early installation of free electric fiat rate water
heaters it is necessary for house -owners, landlords and tenants to
send in their application now, by means of the coupon shown
below. ,The method is simple and direct. Simply write your name
and address in the space provided, and mail it to your own local Hydro
or apply at your local Hydro offices or municipality and a preliminary
survey will be made of your home to determine conditions of wiring,
the existing system of hot water heating and your hot water requirements.
From that the type and capacity of the flat rate .water heater is decided
and, also, whether a `Booster heater is required in addition. Then
installation proceeds.
This absence of elaborate detail and unnecessary red tape in applying
for free installation of water heaters is one of three direct advantages
conferred on' the people of Ontario by the Ontario Hydro Free Instal-
Iation Plan. The other advantages are :
1.
The installation of flat rate electric water heaters wiII be absolutely
.free of cost to the house -owner, landlord, or tenant. Cost of heater
element, tank insulation, thermostat and necessary wiring will be
borne by the Commission. All the consumer will do is to pay a
new low rate for the service he receives.
2 In any home where the new low flat rate electric water heater is
installed a higher standard of comfort, convenience and economy
will immediately be created. The fact that electric water heating is
the best and most economical means known that the new equip-
ment will be trouble-free, automatic in action and requiring no
attention from the householder, and that Ontario power rates are
among the lowest in the world, indicates how much this free
heater plan means to the citizens of Ontario:
If you desire any additional information on any point, your local Hydro
officials or municipality will gladly furnish it.
