Do you take care of livestock during the winter months? An electric tank heater uses a lot of electricity, and keeping it running when water is not close to freezing wastes energy and costs money. Replace the livestock water tank with a freeze-protected non-electric tank, or add a thermostatically controlled outlet to limit tank-heater operation on freezing days. Thermostatically controlled water tank heaters will turn on when the weather is cold, and shut off automatically when the threat of freezing has passed. These energy efficient options still provide fresh water to your animals while saving electricity cutting and costs.
Did you know homes that use well water or have farm animals can operate at lower energy costs? Upgrading to more energy efficient tools and devices is proven to help you operate your business at lower energy costs without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Available utility incentives can put cash back into your hands.
If your home uses well water, cold weather can threaten to freeze pipes and leave you without water for days or longer. Many homeowners will have a heater installed in their pump house to prevent freezing during winter months; however, operating them all winter can be costly. With a thermostatically controlled outlet, the heater will only turn on when the weather is cold enough to warrant use, helping keep your pipes from freezing or bursting while reducing operating costs. Installation of thermostatic controls can be as simple as plugging the device in between the space heater and the outlet.
