Solar heated house trims fuel bill in Maryland suburb
In District Heights Maryland the Thomason family built a 37 by 28 foot solar heated home to cut energy costs. Since moving in October 1959 they rely on solar heat with auxiliary electric heat only when needed keeping indoor temps around 72 degrees. They used 31 gallons of conventional fuel last winter costing 4.65 dollars, while other residents faced higher prices. The system uses circulating water under glass to collect sun heat stored in a tank, with night cooling and air distribution through registers for both heating and cooling seasons.
