Gas oven discounts
The Christchurch Gas Company yesterday announced a variety of discounts and trade-in allowances for domestic consumers forced to change to electricity. . The company’s general manager (Mr C. W. S. Kennedy) said his company was offering $350 on gas cookers traded in for electric ranges, $lOO as a trade-in on storage
water heaters, and would exchange domestic gas heaters for electric heaters at no cost to the consumer.
As well, it was now offering interest-free terms for 18 months, discounts for cash, and service assistance for gas consumers who buy their replacement electrical appliances from the Gas Company. Mr Kennedy emphasised that the offers were additional to the Government assistance already available. “These additional benefits are available because the Gas Company aonreciates the financial difficultiesmany of its domestic consumers will face in converting,” he said. The company was concerned, he said, that unler the Government plan, many consumers would receive a realtively small amount of assistance.
