Maritime Electric Offers Some Answers To Questions

HOW TO SELECT AN AIR CONDITIONER

Your dealer can help you with this. You must consider the size of the room to be cooled, its location, whether it re- ceives direct sunlight, the amount of shade, whether it is a ground or top floor room, time of day when the unit is in use * (daytime or nighttime).

HOW ARE AIR CONDITIONERS RATED?

They may be rated in either horsepower, tons or BTU’s. A BTU is a British Thermal Unit and this rating refers to the amount of heat per hour which a conditioner will remove from a room. The Horsepower: refers to the size of motor and may not give a true indication of cooling ability. A ton of cooling is defined as the cooling effect which you get from the melting of a ton of ice over a 24 hour period. This represents 12,000 BTUs per hour. When comparing units convert all values to BTUs per hour. The BTU rating should be stamped on the nameplate and is the only true comparison of sizes.

. WHAT SHOULD | LOOK FOR 1N AN AIR CONDITIONER?

Leok at these things:

IS SPECIAL WIRING REQUIRED?

MB may be necessary to install a special plug because most air conditioners use 230 volts instead ef the 110 volts used by a window type air conditioner is designed to operate in a home er small office and will work on your regular service. Large commercial installations, of course (5 horse- power and above) de need special wiring.

most appliances. However,

(1) Is the filter easy te remove for cleaning?

(2) Is there a thermos tatie control to automatically turn the unit om and off te maintain the desired temperature?

(3) Dees the equipment have a full warranty (usually ane year on the complete unit and five years on the com- pressor) and can the dealer provide you with a good local service?

CSA LABEL

Buy only alr conditioners which carry the approval of the Canadian Standards Association. This is your assurance of safety and adequate design. Imported models net bearing the CSA label on the nameplate are below Canadian standards and may be neither safe te use ner a good buy.

WHAT WILL AN AIR CONDITIONER DO FOR ME?

BM you rum a store, office or other business you can increase efficiency of staff and comfort of customers. Comfortable people will work better or linger longer in a store. At home mere comfort means better tempers, beiter health. M they are cool your family will eat better meals instead of being “tee het te eat.”

WHAT ARE THE CAPACITIES OF ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS?

Here are some typical figures: (But remember these figures may vary widely, depending en insulation, window area, exposure, the number of people normally in the room, ete.)

Ae air conditioner does more than just cool the air. The filter removes dust, dirt and pollen. With the windows closed and less outside air there will be less dirt in the house. Many people with allergies get great relief from air conditioners : AIR COOLS

which clean the air as well as cooling it. However, if you SIZE i want this feature, be sure te check all models for their filtering 4,000 to 5,800 B.T.U.

NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION?

Ne... Am air conditioner is basically just like your re- frigerater. You should check your filter at least once a month

through the summer and at the beginning of the season. Seme filters can be washed and reused, others are a “‘throw- awar” type which are discarded when dirty. Your dealer will tel! you Hf any off is needed on fans or other moving parts. Follow his instructions.

CAN A ROOM AIR CONDITIONER COOL TWO ROOMS?

Yes... MH the rooms are ideally situated and the air conditioning unit ts big enough. Be sure to dis- euss this with your dealer.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RUN AN AIR CONDITIONER?

A one horsepower air conditioner will run continuously for an hour for about 114 cents in a home. In an office

or store the cost may vary considerably, depending on the individual customer.

DO | NEED THERMOSTATIC CONTROL?

es... Comfort is increased Mf temperature is kept con- stant. Alse overcooling uses more power and a thermostat ean save you its extra cost. Im addition the convenience makes this feature well worth while. ......
