ETS Space Heating – Last day April 29, 2026
ETS Water Heating – May 1, 2026
Each fall the transition is made from LCP's Off-Peak summer strategy to its winter strategy.
What does that mean to you?
If you participate in the Off-Peak ETS (Electric Thermal Storage) program through LCP, your heating system will be curtailed (interrupted) each day during peak hours (typically 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. depending on your system).
Off-Peak Heating
Off-peak electric heat systems convert electricity into heat during "off-peak" hours (usually at night).
The stored heat is distributed later, as needed, to heat your home 24 hours a day.
Dual Fuel Heating
The dual fuel heating program allows you to combine electric and non-electric heating sources to provide you another great alternative for your heating needs. If you have a backup heating system that is capable of heating your entire home or business, along with electric heat as your primary source, you can bank on the savings and security of two systems.
Ductless Air Source Heat Pumps
Ductless mini-split air source heat pumps are highly efficient products that deliver warm or cool air directly into different zones in your home, instead of routing it through ducts.
Central Air Source Heat Pumps
With heating and cooling accounting for some of the largest expenses for homeowners, it makes sense for your space to be equipped with one high-efficiency appliance to keep those costs as low as possible – a central air source heat pump.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Invest in a ground source heat pump (GSHP) and you will heat and cool with one technology. Ground source heat pumps make use of renewable energy – straight from the earth.
Water Heating
Lake Country Power's off-peak water heating program provides a low-cost water heating option for your home or business. A minimum of a 100-gallon electric water heater is required. The water heater is energized or "turned on" for a minimum of eight hours per day, generally between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
