Cost Savings Advantages
Room units are non-ducted heaters which are designed to heat the room or area into which they are placed. These heaters can be used in new construction applications or as a retrofit or supplement to an existing heating system. Various sizes of room units are available ranging from 1.32kW, 120V - plug-in units to larger 10kW, 240V models. The "Fan Forced" 2100 series units have the ability to quickly discharge vast amounts of heat as desired.

During off-peak hours, ETS heaters convert electricity into heat and store that heat in specially designed high-density ceramic bricks. These bricks are capable of storing vast amounts of heat for extended periods of time. This stored heat is circulated evenly and quietly by a fan inside the unit as the room thermostat calls for heat. The ETS equipment is easy to operate and requires very little maintenance. The amount of heat stored in the brick core of the heater is regulated (either manually or automatically) according to seasonal weather conditions. The on-board room temperature thermostat is set to your desired comfort level and will control the delivery of heat from the ETS heater.

Forced Air Furnaces are designed to be the main heating system (forced air) for residential or small commercial applications. These units can be used as a stand alone furnace or can be installed with a heat pump to realize even greater efficiency and energy savings. It is a versatile appliance that can serve as a back-up for an electric furnace during on-peak times, replace a duct heater, or supplement a fossil fuel system. During off-peak hours, the unit converts electricity into heat and stores that heat in specially designed, high density ceramic bricks. The system has the heat storage capacity to provide total comfort 24 hours a day, while allowing the user to utilize low cost off-peak electric rates to achieve very economical and affordable heating.

Hydronic Furnaces add a new dimension to heating by blending hydronic heating with Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) Technology. During off-peak hours, when electricity costs and energy usage generally are substantially lower, a hydronic furnace converts electricity into heat and stores that heat in specially designed high-density ceramic bricks located inside the unit. Through the use of a heat exchanger, this stored heat is transferred as needed from the storage media to a water or glyco solution, which is circulated to areas where the heat is needed. These systems have the ability to utilize off-peak, time of day (or time of use), demand based or other preferential electric rates to generate considerable savings for the consumer while delivering the many benefits associated with hydronic heating.

Load Management Controls interface with the ETS systems and are designed to regulate when the ETS equipment can charge and also control when energy can be used by other devices. Wireless "Power Line Carrier" (PLC) systems are available which can reduce the cost of installation and provide great flexibility.
