to peace of mind
Truthfully, now, did you give any thought to
safety when you decided upon your present
heating system? Not many of us do.
Flameless electricity is the safest way to heat
. . . it’s also the cleanest. There are no by
products such as fumes, odors and soot.
Economy is another important factor not to
be overlooked. Electricity uses 100% of its
energy to produce heat. There are no costly
maintenance calls to clean and repair nozzles,
fuel lines and other furnace parts.
Why not see your dealer or rural electric rep
resentative today . . . electric heating costs so
little for so much peace of mind.
