Are you going
to let your gas heating sleep
through another summer?
Why not put it to work
as an air conditioner?
It’s a simple matter to install a
cooling unit to your gas heating system.
You can probably use the furnace
blower and ductwork you already have.
You’ll save up to half the installation
costs of starting from scratch.
Temperature control in your home is
a year-round proposition, but not an
expensive one. We have special
rates for gas air conditioning
during the summer. And no matter
what the season, you pay less
for gas than electricity.
Another nice thing about
gas central air conditioning is its
simplicity. There arc fewer moving
parts. Fewer breakdowns. Fewer repairs.
Wake up your central gas heating to
central gas cooling. You’ll sleep
better this summer.
