The industry notes a 5 percent rise in new installations and conversions in 1971, pushing electric heat usage to nearly 5 million residences with a 2.5 to 1 ratio of single-family homes to apartments. Nonresidential buildings also show expansion as 27 percent of 1970 structures used electric heat and three of four had electric air conditioning. Benefits include even heat, cleanliness, quiet operation, and room-by-room control, while installation and maintenance costs stay low. Builders are urged to use high insulation standards and wood sash windows to minimize heat loss.
