These benefits are best
achieved by installing good
ventilating windows such
as wood casements or
slider units. Both styles in
ponderosa pine with in-
sulating glass — two panes
of glass with an insulating
air space between — can
be purchased in a variety
of sizes at local home cen-
ters or building supply
dealers.
Other benefits
Wood windows have ad-
ditional benefits. The in-
sulating glass in combina-
tion with factory -applied
weatherstripping and the
natural insulation pro-
vided by the wood sash
and frame guard against
excessive heat loss and
assure snug closure. Win-
dows of ponderosa pine
with insulating glass also
put an end to the spring
and fall job of taking down
and putting up storm sash.
And these units are easier
to clean because there are
only two surfaces to wash
instead of four.

heat pump is a new
source for both
;ial and commercial
It's basically a
rating machine which
heat from a low-
ature source (outside
d delivers it inside the
house at a higher tem-
perature. For one kilowatt of
power consumed, the system
can produce the equivalent of
about three kilowatts of heat
in the house. It could be three
times more efficient than
electric resistance heating.
I -feat pumps are now being
evaluated for the Canadian
winter, and with some
modifications may come into
wide use. The inital cost is
high, but they may prove to
be very useful and
economical heat sources.
