Steffes Comfort Plus

The Steffes Comfort Plus Series heating systems are a type of Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) equipment which utilize low cost, off-peak electricity to provide economical and comfortable heating. ETS systems store that heat in specially designed high-density ceramic bricks. Off-peak hours are those times during the day or night when demand for electricity is lower. Wild Rice Electric offers a reduced electric heating rate to encourage off-peak energy usage.

The versatility of Comfort Plus systems allows them to fit almost any application. They are designed for use as either the sole heating source (“stand alone” furnace) or as a supplement to ducted heating systems such as heat pumps. In any application, the Comfort Plus system allows heating requirements to be satisfied using off-peak electricity; thus, significant savings in heating costs can be realized.

Operation of the Comfort Plus is completely automatic. A sensor monitors outdoor temperature to regulate the amount of heat the system stores in its brick core. The wall thermostat, along with the duct sensor in the Comfort Plus, controls room temperature and heat delivery to ensure warm and comfortable heat is provided, 24 hours a day.
