Water heating and off-peak rates
Low rates make electric water heating a cost-effective option
When you install an electric water heater you may place it on controlled service you will save! There are many rate options to choose from.
- Controlled service water heating rate is about 30% less than our standard price for electricity.
- Add your water heater to your off peak heating rate get the same low rate your pay for heating. The deferred load, RDC programs, or dual fuel programs all work well with electric water heating.
- For those not interested in installing a separate service panel may receive a $4-a-month credit on their monthly bill in return for allowing us to control water heaters wired to the firm service meter.
To set up a controlled service connection, we supply the radio controls and metering, and you pay installation costs and for wiring.
Estimated operating cost
The average family of four uses 350 to 400 kilowatt-hours a month to heat water. That will cost about $25, depending on which interruptible rate is used.
