Show O ,f -- tv Advertising Supplement of Electric Systems Are Versatile Electric heating offers the utmost in flexibility to A large variety of equipment is available to meet the individual heating requirements of a home from basement to attic. One of the earliest and most popular forms of electric residential heating, which is still common, is low temperature resistance wire imbedded in the ceiling construction. This method uses the ceiling slab as a low temperature radiant panel to warm all the room surfaces it sees and the room occupants. These surfaces, in turn, warm the room air. Ceding Systems take up no space in the room and are completely invisible. They also permit individual temperature control in each room and have a relabvely low installed cost Still another new development in ceiling heat is a radi home-owner- ' If" s. ant panel gypsum board painted or stained to match which has a conductive layer the decor of the room.

In most cases, they pron vide a combined effect. Since wall units do not take up floor space, are not connected to a duct or piping system and produce heat directly in the room requiring it, it was only natural that they too, found qarly popularity. Some recent modifications of the wall heater idea have come along which demonstrate the flexibility of electricity as heat source. A cornice heater, for example, can be wall mounted near the ceiling. This is a radiant panel type of heater and it consists of a porcelain covered metal panel which has a heater surface under the porcelain finish. , The room. Its position on the wall permits it to be located just about anywhere in a room and where there might be difficulty in trying to find room for some other type of heating equipment. similar A porcelainized radiant panel heater is available for wall mounting near the floor.
