Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) Heaters
Many of Polk-Burnett's members enjoy the benefits provided by a Steffes storage heater:
- Safe, clean, comfortable heat
- No smoke, no fumes, no mess
- Easy to operate
- No routine maintenance
- 100% efficient
When members put an ETS unit on Polk-Burnett's off-peak program, it provides a very economical and safe heating source.
How it works
Energy is stored in high-density ceramic bricks for eight hours overnight and two hours during the day when electricity costs are lower. On today's newer models, this is done with an outside power line carrier, which automatically tells the storage heater how much to charge, based on overnight outdoor temperatures. This helps assure that you will have plenty of heat to use the next day.
The desired comfort level is regulated by the heater's built-in room thermostat, using a blend of radiant heat from the warm heater surface and convection heat from the fan, as it circulates the stored heat into the room.
Today's 2100 Series room ETS unit offers many unique features, including:
- Microprocessor technology
- Low-cost automatic charge control
- Heater operation display lights
- Integral digital room temperature thermostat
- Brick core and air discharge temperature safety controls
- Variable speed blower
