Electric Thermal Storage has been used in the United States for over 20 years. Today, Steffes is known as the leader in this technology. Not only are we setting the industry standards for quality; but, we are also working closely with power companies to ensure comfort, safety, reliability, service, and support needs are being met.
What is ETS? What is ETS? Steffes ETS room heating units utilize off-peak electricity available during those times of the day or night when the power company can supply you with electricity more economically. By using this off-peak elec- tricity for heating, the power company may offer you a special incentive such as a reduced electric rate, an off-peak heating rate, a time-of-use (TOU) rate, or monthly credits on your heating bill.
