Save Money with Off-Peak Heating

Sudbury, ON- If saving money while heating your home sounds like a good idea, Electric Thermal Storage may be an option for you. Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) is the technology of converting off-peak electricity to heat, and storing this low cost heat for use in a home or business.

Electricity is more expensive during the on-peak hours, which is when we use a lot of it due to operating various appliances. Off-peak hours are the times of day or night when the power companies usually have excess energy supply due to low demand. Some power companies offer reduced rates or substantial discounts on electricity consumed during off-peak times.

During hours a power company considers off-peak, the electric elements generate the heat that will be stored in the bricks of the ETS Heating Systems. This stored heat is used to satisfy immediate heating requirements and to provide total comfort during peak hours.

Another perk with ETS heating is that it is a more environmentally friendly heating choice. Today there is emphasis being placed on energy efficiency, conservation, and preservation of the environment. ETS makes the most efficient use of power generation, transmission and distribution.

“Electric thermal storage is a great option for anyone who doesn’t want to use natural gas heating, or may not have the option to use it”, stated Brian Eadie, President of Northern Air ClimateCare. The Steffes unit we offer here provides efficient heating and comfort and is a low cost to operate.”
