Electric Thermal Storage Heaters
Overview
Steffes is a world class manufacturer of Electric Thermal
Storage heating equipment for residential and small
commercial applications. Electric Thermal Storage or
ETS, is the technology of storing low cost electricity
in the form of heat for use in heating 24 hours a day.
ETS equipment stores heat during off-peak hours. Off-peak
hours are those times during the day or night when a
power company can supply electricity most economically.
By utilizing ETS with off-peak hours, a power company
may offer special incentives such as a reduced electrical
rate, an off-peak heating rate, a time-of-use (TOU)
rate, or special monthly credits. The heat is stored
within high-density ceramic brick, which is also manufactured
by Steffes. Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) is a clean,
safe, comfortable, and reliable method of heating. This
heating choice is growing in popularity because it is
100% efficient and provides warm, cozy heat and significant
savings. While ETS provides great benefits for consumers,
it also provides significant value for the power company.
It improves their system efficiencies, reduces their
cost of power and can enhance their load and energy
management efforts. ETS is an essential marketing component
for power companies as they strive to reduce energy
costs and remain competitive in the industry.
