<br />thls ,new electrIcal appliance. This
<br />utopian piece of apparatl,ts Is nothing
<br />more titan a, refined heat, pump. A
<br />ty:ipical household air.to-alr unit takes
<br />up ,only 2%' by 4 fet)t of floor space
<br />and can be put almost anywhere. No
<br />chimney Is needed, unlesS all or gas
