Boise doctor modernizes home heating after
satisfaction with electric heat in office
Ten years ago an electrically-heated
home was a rarity. 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.

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.”
