No matter how hot and humid the weather gets outside, electric air conditioning
can keep you cool, calm and comfortable this summer. Homemaking chores get
done easier, more efficiently, and the whole family lives more comfortably in an
air conditioned atmosphere. An electric air conditioner helps filter the air... less
dust and pollen to add to summer discomfort.
