hoosier inspector Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Has anybody ever seen one of these? This was attached to the front patio. Click to Enlarge 78 KB What's funny is this home (built in 1968) was equipped with FP Stablock breakers.
kurt Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Back in '68, lots of folks thought everything was going to be electric. Every neighborhood was going to have their own nuclear reactor.
mgbinspect Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Haha.. Tons of them here in Richmond. It was a Virginia Power thing, but Virginia Power is no more - It's now Dominion Power (VA and NC). The "Gold Medalion" was a big Virginia Power and Pepco (Potomac Electric Power Company - MD) thing Bottom Line - a "Gold Medallion" home was a 100% Electric home, Like Kurt says, and my temptation was to say they were complete with the first generation of Heat Pumps, but actually many gold medalion homes had electric baseboard heat!? A little piece of history...
hoosier inspector Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Posted January 20, 2010 Okay thanks, That explains the goofy ductwork. The electric heat had been converted to forced air.
Jerry Lozier Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 We see a lot of them on manufactured homes around here, can't remember if any were stick built. Jerry
