Electrical heating is cheap

THERE HAS been a four-fold in-
crease in the use of electrical
heating in Canada over the past 14

years. Page 17
Statistics compiled by the Elec-
trical and Electronic Manufactur-
ers’ Association of Canada
(EEMAC) show that the use of
electricity as the principal heating
fuel in Canadian homes rose from
seven per cent in 1973 to 28.3 per
cent in 1986.

The use of natural gas also rose
during the same period —- from a
market share of 34.8 per cent in
1973 to 45.8 per cent in 1986 —
while the market share for oil
declined from 55.5 per cent to 20.1
per cent nationwide,

In Atlantic Canada, the use of
electricity rose from 4.2 per cent to
27.1 per cent; in Quebec, from
10.4 per cent to 57.7 per cent; On-
tario, seven per cent to 18.7 per
cent; Prairies, 2.7 per cent to 9.1
per cent; and British Columbia,
7.5 per cent to 21.2 per cent.

One of the reasons for this trend
is price — electricity is proving

. itself more economical.

The other is a whole new
generation of baseboard heating
technology and vith -it, the
development of acutely-sensitive
electronic controls that now are
able to match exactly the amount
of heat required in any room.
