High Cost of Heating
Over 25 million American households heat with oil or propane as their fuel. VCharge controls on Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) heaters can reduce the cost of heating (relative to oil or propane) by as much as 80%.
VCharge technology controls how Electric Thermal Storage heaters charge. Since the cost of electricity varies greatly over the course of the day, VCharge controls can reduce the cost of heating with ETS. VCharge's patented ETS energy management system estimates the amount of energy that will be needed by each home each day, and buys electricity only during the cheapest hours, storing the energy in the ceramic bricks embedded in ETS heaters. Depending on the level and variability of electric prices, VCharge technology can reduce the cost of buying electricity on the wholesale market by between 30% and 80%.
