Heat pump furnaces use electricity to transfer (rather than generate) heat. 在温暖的月份, heat pumps transfer heat from inside your home to outside; and during cooler months, heat pumps transfer heat from outside your home to inside.

Maximize savings on the TOU-ELEC pricing plan with the adoption of clean energy technology. Designed for customers that own an electric vehicle, 能量储存, and/or an electric heat pump for water heating or climate control.
TOU-ELEC’s monthly service fee reduces the average price you pay per unit of energy (kWh) compared to pricing plans without a monthly service fee. This can help reduce dramatic swings in bill amounts.
If you are a large electricity user who can shift your energy use to lower-priced times of day, the TOU-ELEC pricing plan may save you money. TOU-ELEC is most beneficial for customers who can program their EV charging, battery storage or electric heat pump to run during super off-peak times.
