EFFICIENT THAN LP CAS WATER HEATERS, by ratios of from 1.6 to 1,
to 2 to 1..
To get all the hot water you want—where you want it,
when you want it, and as you need it.., YOUR BEST

They are so economical because they're so efficient...
use fewer heat units than comparable bottled gas
water heaters to do the same jobs.
Only ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS can be installed ANY

milk house.. . in the barn. They need no long pipe
runs, so heat losses are minimized.
