Air conditioners vary in efficiency (oHiigl,to? THE ORCHID SHOP 524 North State in Lindon Phone 785-3251 ! Special for This Week QDo different makes of refrlg- erated air conditioners use different amounts of electricity to do the same job? A Yes. The most efficient refrigerated room air conditioners operate on about half the power required by less efficient models to do the same cooling job. Select the most efficient by comparing U.S. Department of Commerce Com-merce Energy Guide Labels found on most models. The labels rate the units by their "Energy Efficiency Ratio" EER. The higher the EER, the greater the energy efficiency. A unit with an EER 8, for example, uses half as much energy as one with an EER 4. If a model doesn't list an EER rating, ask the dealer to figure it for you. The pros and cons of swamp coolers QWhat about evaporative air conditioners the so-called "swamp coolers"? A These coolers have one very substantial advantage, and one disadvantage. The advantage is that they require only a fraction (about an eighth) of the electricity needed to operate refrigeration-type air conditioners. condi-tioners. The disadvantage is that the moisture they produce may make the inside air too humid for comfort on muggy days. Swamp coolers are most effective In the parts of the UP&L service area which experience dry, hot summers. Address your questions or suggestions to Reddy Kilowatt, P.O.
