Save up to 50 percent on electric heat bills with European-style thermal brick heater
Earl Wilson Electric is an authorized Steffes dealer for electric thermal storage (ETS) heating systems. Commonplace in European homes, electric thermal storage (ETS) heating system can help you save up to 50 percent on your electric heat bill by taking advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
How it works
ETS heating systems consist of special high-density ceramic bricks capable of storing vast amounts of heat for extended periods of time. The bricks are heated with electricity to a high temperature overnight, and well insulated to release heat slowly throughout the day. During peak hours, the power is shut off and an electric fan begins moving the heat from the bricks to heat the home.
A thermostat monitors room air temperature and regulates heat delivery as needed, providing comfort 24 hours a day. The amount of heat stored in the brick core of the heater is regulated in relation to weather conditions.
Save money
Unlike old-fashioned systems that don't have a heat storage feature, ETS systems save you money because stored heat has been purchased at a lower cost and is then gradually released as needed throughout the day.
Electricity or hydro rates peak during the day, with lowest costs typically from 11:00 pm to 7:00am when hydro companies drop their rates as much as 60 percent; it is during this time-of-use (TOU) period that your ETS system is activated.
Environmentally friendly
There are no worrying fumes, toxic smoke, or gooey mess! This innovative heating system makes the most efficient use of power generation, transmission, and distribution. And even better, it can also be used with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
These reduced rates provide considerable savings on energy costs as compared to alternative heating options. A great electric heating solution for northern Ontario homes, businesses, cottages, and camps!
