Storage Water Heating helps
a local family close the budget gap
ECE's Storage Water Heating program is helping a family from the Brook Park area make ends meet as they adjust to the new economy. Brad and Kelley Rooney have cut their water heating costs by more than half with their switch to ECE's off-peak electric system. The rebate they received made their new high efficiency water heater affordable when they joined the program in 2010. "Brad had a job in the Cities as a master electrician, but when the economy fell apart, he was laid off," Kelley said. "He was unemployed for 18 months. We've been looking for any way to save money, and ECE's water heating program has really helped." The Rooneys have two daughters, Faith, 12, and Grace, 8. Kelley describes their hot water use as average for a family their size. She washes seven or eight loads of clothes a week, runs the dishwasher every other day, and everyone takes a daily shower. At the special low rate of *4.2 cents per kilowatt hour, the water heating portion of their last ECE bill was just over $21. To learn how you can reap the benefits of ECE's Storage Water Heating program, call our energy experts for details. *Reduced rates do not reflect any variable wholesale power cost adjustment that may be required. |
