THE VALUE OF ELECTRIC THERMAL STORAGE (ETS) AND OFF-PEAK ENERGY
In the near future, a much higher percentage of our electricity will come from intermittent wind and solar energy resources. Our households will use and store energy when its most plentiful and is priced most economically. When it comes to space and water heating, that future is now! The innovative products and rate programs we offer can help you make the most of off-peak and stored energy and provide the comfort, convenience and affordability you need.
Whether it's a radiant floor system, a ducted system like the Steffes Comfort Plus, or the Steffes room unit, we have an off-peak ETS heating solution for your home. Contact our Energy Management Specialists at (800) 552-7658 for more information on installing an ETS system in your house.

Examples of the Steffes Room Heater in actual homes
Interruptible Space Heating
Dual Fuel
Our Dual Fuel Rate Option is available for the combination of a primary electric heating system with a back-up propane or fuel oil system. Dual fuel systems are controlled during periods of high electric demand and at 6.1¢ per kWh offer a great value compared to other fuels.
Short Term Storage
At 6.1¢ per kWh, Short Term Storage is a great option for radiant floor heating. These systems deliver heat using hydronic tubing installed in a 6-inch layer of sand under a concrete slab.
Both Dual Fuel and Short Term Storage may be controlled any time–normally from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. (up to 400 hours per year).
