ENERGY SAVINGS PAYBACK \bu Can Have It On New GAS DRYERS,Too! If you buy a new pilotless gas dryer, you could realize an Energy Savings Payback (E.S.R) in the operation of that dryer over the years you’ll use it. You see, when you buy a home appliance today there are two costs you must consider: 1. The original cost 2. The lifetime cost of operation The original cost is important, but with the cost of all forms of energy increasing, it’s also important to “shop” for the appliance that will use less of your energy dollars through the years you operate that appliance. You should choose the appliance that will use the least energy. It will give you an Energy Savings Payback in terms of significant amounts of money saved ... a substantial part of the original cost. EXAMPLES ESTIMATED LIFE CYCLE ENERGY SAVINGS PAYBACK New Energy Saving Gas Dryer 106.92 (Compared with standard gas dryer) New Energy Saving Gas Range 113.40 (Compared with standard gas range) New Energy Saving Gas Water Heater 170.10 (Compared with standard gas water heater)

Actually, the E.S.P. could be much higher in certain cases. Gas Company representatives and appliance dealers will welcome the opportunity to explain E.S.P as it might apply to your home appliances. E.S.R is something to think about. It’s another reason to replace your old ones with new energy saving gas appliances. the company Not fhe<n Inckvo Publw fei VKP ComfKVHj
