The Case for Hot Air Heating 
{Continued from page 25.) 
system must be a more able heating engi¬ 
neer than the average contractor. Men 
of this class always include in their esti¬ 
mates an item to cover cost of proper 
planning of the furnace heating system 
and consequently are never low bidders 
and never secure contracts on a purely 
competitive basis. The competent warm 
air furnace heating contractor is entitled 
to his fee for engineering work, as the 
architect does not possess the knowledge 
required to properly design a warm air 
furnace heating and ventilating system 
when he plans the building. 
Ordinarily, the only safe plan for the 
prospective purchaser of a heating sys¬ 
tem to follow is to demand specifications 
from all furnace heating contractors who 
compete for the contract and, after com¬ 
paring specifications, to award the con¬ 
tract to the reputable bidder whose specifi¬ 
cations are most complete, regardless of 
price. 
For the protection of the public, repu¬ 
table furnace heating contractors and the 
reputation of their furnaces of merit, forty 
warm air furnace manufacturers have had 
prepared a complete standard system for 
installing warm air furnace heating and 
ventilating systems in residences, under 
the title — “Federal System of Heating and 
Ventilation,” together with standard speci¬ 
fication and proposal blanks to be used by 
heating contractors. 
When the “Federal System of Heating 
and Ventilation” is followed the house 
owner will know that the furnace used is 
of proper capacity to heat his house, be¬ 
cause ratings of furnaces under the Fed¬ 
eral System, are not under the control of 
the manufacturers of the furnaces, but 
are based on impartial tests of each fur¬ 
nace made by disinterested persons. He 
will be further safeguarded by the fact 
that only furnaces of substantial and dur¬ 
able construction are rated under the Fed¬ 
eral System. Furthermore, when a fur¬ 
nace heating and ventilating plant is in¬ 
stalled in accordance with the rules and 
directions of the Federal System, the en¬ 
tire heating and ventilating system is 
backed, not only by the guarantee of the 
heating contractor, but also by the com¬ 
bined guarantees of the furnace manu¬ 
facturers who stand sponsors for the “Fed¬ 
eral System of Heating and Ventilation.” 
In closing I would impress on the reader 
that all the glowing descriptions of direct 
systems of heating cannot change the fact 
that most health officers in America are 
united in declaring direct radiation sys¬ 
tems of heating a menace to the health 
of the communities in which they are 
installed. 
From the standpoint of hygiene, which 
after all is the most important considera¬ 
tion to the man about to build a house for 
himself and family, there is no choice 
among the indirect systems of heating. 
By all means choose the indirect system of 
heating for your home—the choice be-
