Electricity
Electrical contractors estimate it will cost the average homeowner approximately $2500 to $3000 to
convert to electric heat from an oil-fired system.

Home Heating Costs Compared
h 34-42 MJ/m3 heating requirement, multiply the annual consumption by the furnace efficiency:
3000L/yrx65%= 1950 L/yr
Multiplying that real energy requirement by the heating value of oil allows you to
convert your home's real heating requirements to those for any other fuel:
1950L/yrx38MJ/L«74 100 MJ/yr
This home has a true heating requirement of almost 75 000 MJ.

Energy Economics
Answer: Martin Durand, Heating Technician for Ener$ave Canada, says that to
convert from gravity to a forced-air furnace you should first have the unit inspected by the natural gas company or the original manufacturer.

Converting AC To DC
A diode is a small electronic device which can be used to
convert alternating current to direct current.
Remember that a diode will allow current to flow in one direction only.

Motors
The force of attraction or repulsion of magnetic fields causes electric motors to
convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.

Solid - State Devices
You have already seen how one such device, a diode, is used to
convert ac into dc. There are many other small electronic components which can be used in the control circuitry of appliances and tools.

Peat Moss
The presence of water and the lack of air have prevented the last stages of decomposition which
convert organic material into soil and prevented the escape of the acids formed by decomposition.

How Fertilizers Operate
These soil organisms feed on humus—if the proportion of manure or compost humus in the soil is low, the soil population is minimal and most of the applied fertilizer is wasted, because there are not sufficient soil organisms to
convert it to plant use.
