Ask the Expert: How Does an ETS System Work?

Question: How Does an ETS (Electric Thermal Storage) System Work?

Answer: In an ETS system,  you heat ceramic bricks during off-peak hours and store this heat for use during peak hours. If you ask me, it’s like throwing bricks into your oven, heating them when it’s cheap, and then opening the oven door for heat when you need it.

However, La Plata Electric offers energy credits for the installation and usage of ETS systems. Find out more about their program on their website.
