An Off-Peak system utilizes a thermal (heat) storage system that heats up during off-peak times, usually at night, and stores the heat for use the following day, at a lower electric rate. You can save almost 60% as compared to standard electric rates.
Water heating can be a major expense for your household. Crow Wing Power has an off-peak water heater
program that could save you hundreds of dollars every year. A separate electric meter keeps track of the electricity used by the water heater, which shows up on your electric bill at its discounted rate. In addition to lower operating costs, off-peak electric water heaters advantages include; no venting or fuel lines, cheaper to install than gas heaters, quiet and dependable.
