— Lancaster Farming Saturday, June 24, 1972 14 Consumers Want to Know by MARGARET SPADER Director of Consumer Affairs National Association of Manufacturers I’d like to buy a room ah conditions) but I don’t know what to look for. Please give me some suggestions. Appliance experts advise that you assemble facts such as the size of the room to be cooled the height, length and width, the direction the room faces, the type of win dow—such as casement, dou ble-hung, etc., and the elec trical voltage in your home. This information will help the salesman determine the cooling capacity you need and the best unit to do the job. Then you should ask about noise level, temperature con trols, and filter. You should also find out how to clean and replace the air deflection fea tures. Also consult use-and care instructions. Are accessories stick as vaiiable fan speeds and direc tional controls worth the ex tra pi ice on 100 m air condi tional s? Most air conditioner own ers like a choice of fan speeds because low speed offers quieter nighttime cooling and higher speeds are useful for daytime cooling during very hot weather. Air directional controls allow you to direct the airflow up, down or to either side, thus preventing drafts. A thermostat may contribute toward more eco nomical operation because it allows setting a temperature range that the unit maintains automatically. These acces sories are no longer extra on many air conditioners. FARMJjSfe.
