What electric
Baseboard heat
and what it can
dolor
Meet the “Independent” one ... the electric baseboard heating unit. Each
slim baseboard’unit is actually a heating system in itself, so you can have
individual temperature control in every room. It even lets you economize by
turning down the heat in rooms not often used.
You eliminate the central furnace... pipes... ducts... chimneys and flues
.., plus fuel delivery and storage problems. And electric heat is clean, quiet
and carefree besides!
So, why not plan to convert your home to the comfort and convenience of
electric heat today? Select baseboard units or one of the four other types
of electric heat... hot water, warm air, ceiling cable, or heat pump.
For more information and a free estimate of operating costs call PP&L
or your PP&L Recommended Electric Home Heating Dealer, listed in the
Yellow Pages under “Heating."
