Cuts Furnace Heat Loss

Gateway Supply CorP. has a new product to help conserve energy: the Free-Heat-Booster.

Designed to work with furnaces, free standing fireplaces, wood stoves, and space heaters; it will reduce fuel consumption, re-capturing heat that was previously wasted.

A sound program tor conservmg energy in the home must include good insulation, proper furnace maintenance and sensible thermostat settings. But until now, as much as half of the heat from furnace combustion, and as much as 90% of the heat from fireplaces, has been drawn uselessly out the vent stack. With the FreeHeat-Booster, much of that waste can be prevented. installed on the vent stack of furnace, fireplace, heater or stove, it replaces a portion of the vent PiPe. Combustion exhaust passes through the booster, zurrounding the 24 nternal heat exchangers. Fresh air traveling through t}:.e 24 exchangers is heated safely and reliablY. The fresh, hot air can be re+ycled through a forced-air furnace system to supplement the furnace or directed to a new previouslY unheated area.

Furnace fuel consumPtion is normally cut by more than 25%. Wit}r fireplaces and stoves the savings can be even more. The higher vent stack temperature of a free-standing fireplace or stove gives the booster more heat to work with and that means more heat is returned.

The exhaust and fresh air sYstems are discrete, so there is no risk of noxious gas escaPing. It does not interfere with normal furnace, fireplace. stove or heater oPeration 'b""^rrse it has draft characteristics comparable to 90% of a 9" diameter vent. The exhaust flow is unimpeded. And with twice as manY heat exhangers and three times the heat exchange surface area, it is 204O% more efficient.

Polystyrene Shutters

Cape Cod shutters, precision molded polystyrene shutters for residential windows and doors, are being introduced by Johns-Manville as a complenrent to their Dritlgrain solid vinyl siding line.

The durable one-piece units feature an embossed wood grain texture and open louvers with a distinctive colonial arch top rail. Available in six colors, they harnronize or contrast with any traditional or contemporary home desisn.

They will not rot or require painting prior to application like natural wood shutters. And unlike metal components, they resist rust and corrosion and will not easily conduct electricity.

Because of its injection-molded, high density polystyrene construction, Cape Cod shutters resist chip- ping, splintering and denting. In addition, they have a tough acrylic finish that guards against peeling, flaking and blistering.
