Comfort for the Future with Serenity

Comfort for the Future with Serenity

Switch & Save

Hydro-Québec is now offering financial incentives to customers to replace their existing central heating system with Steffes’ Serenity Forced Air Furnace. Opt for central heating with electric thermal storage (ETS) and receive $10,000 in financial assistance from Hydro‑Québec.

What is Electric Thermal Storage?

Steffes Electric Thermal Storage systems gain efficiency by taking advantage of off-peak electricity, which is charged at a lower rate since it is consumed during times when demand on the electrical grid is low. Steffes ETS systems convert off-peak electricity to heat and store it in heating elements contained within high-density ceramic bricks.

With the Steffes ETS systems’ abilities to store vast amounts of heat for long periods of time, you can get on-peak performance for an off-peak price. These capabilities can save you 20 to 30 percent on heating bills without having to sacrifice the comfort and convenience of a traditional heating system. Our ETS systems don’t produce carbon monoxide, so they’re safe and require very minimal maintenance.

SERENITY + HEAT PUMP

Serenity is ideally coupled with a conventional heat-pump. Today’s heat pumps provide efficient, low-cost heating and cooling, but many struggle to provide adequate comfort in frigid climates. When the demand for heat exceeds a heat pump’s capacity, the Serenity furnace adds the precise amount of stored heat to deliver consistent comfort in your home. And because that stored heat is generated off-peak, the combined benefits provide the best, most economical heating system on the market.

Hydro-Québec Incentives

Until June 30, 2023, Hydro‑Québec is offering financial assistance worth $10,000 to customers who have a central heating ETS system installed.
