Protecting Mother Nature

It isn’t a secret that we continue to use more and more electricity in our modern world. Steffes Heating Systems help you get more out of a finite resource – electricity from your power company.

Power companies are able to provide lower electricity rates at night known as off-peak rates. By purchasing electricity at off-peak times, you help relieve the daytime demands for electricity on your power company. This allows the power companies to improve efficiency and pass the savings on to you. Additionally, the Steffes System with Air Source Heat Pump significantly reduces the amount of energy needed to heat your home.  

 

The benefits of Steffes Heating Systems and off-peak electric don’t stop there.

1. Cooler night time temperatures and lower loads on transmission lines provide more efficient energy transmission to homeowners.
2. Energy output by wind turbines is up to 40% greater during off-peak hours. A Steffes Heating System can store this energy for use when there is a greater need.
3. Using off-peak electricity reduces your carbon footprint. Off-peak maximizes the use of non-carbon emitting power sources such as wind, solar and hydroelectric.
4. You also never need to worry about fuel tank leaks harming the environment.
5. Your heating system helps utilities manage the electric grid and reduces our dependance on foreign oil.

Efficiently heating your home, protect the environment, and save money – it’s a solution where everyone wins - you – your power company – the environment.
