The biggest single problem with all.air con
ditioners is the compressor -- that is, all air
conditioners except Arkla Servel gas air
conditioners. There is no compressor in an
Arkla Servel gas air conditioner.
In fart, they have only three moving parts
in the entire cooling cycle That, cixtpled with
more stainless steel construction than any
other air conditioner on the market, means
fewer parts to replace or repair. (
Result. Greater dependability and lower
maintenance costs ,
When that expensive compressor in your
electric air conditioner goes put. call us for more
information on the dependable air conditiofier
with no compressor, f ; ’ h
