Today more than half of the new homes being built in our area—and more than 1100 older homes — include its many benefits. Among these is the attractive and spacious residence of the Dr. L. H. Mason family of Boise, who recently changed over to an electric heat pump for year- around comfort and convenience. In doing so, they became Idaho Power’s 5000th elec tric heat customer. r ♦ ' I ' .*? ‘ i 1 F ’ :<■ > ♦ ■’■I SATISFACTION with electric heating and cooling in his office at 808 LaCassia helped Dr. Mason decide to change his home to electric heat. “You don’t have to build a new home to enjoy electric heat,” said Dr. Mason. “After finding satisfaction in a new, all-electric of fice, I learned how we could make our home equally comfortable. The change-over was easy, and we are looking ahead to pleasant temperatures at home winters and sum mers.” “I was surprised to realize how many people already have electric heating,” said Mrs. Mason. “It seems to be coming on fast as more and more people get to know about it.” Time to change your home to ELECTRIC HEAT There’s still time to make your home “electric-heat comfortable” for winter!
