Show Wrongly Placed Heaters Waste MUHons in Coal That American householders are wasting millions of tons ot coal annually an-nually because of the faulty location of heating plants In homes la the opinion of heating experts of the Holland Hol-land Institute of Thermology, of Holland, Hol-land, Mich. A warm air central heating plant, the Institute points out; must be located lo-cated in the basement so that It can deliver Its heat with equal efficiency to all rooms. If this is not done, extra fuel will be required to force warmth to the less favored rooms. If the basement is partitioned off Into separate rooms, the Institute advises, ad-vises, the warm air beating plant should be placed under the living rooms, rather than under bed chambers cham-bers or unimportant rooms. The heater, which may be of the new Holland Vapor-Aire type, should be as near the chimney flue as possible. pos-sible. This Is because a short pipe to the flue will draw better than a long one. |
