General Information
GENERAL OPERATION
The Steffes ETS Double Loop Central Furnace (DLF) utilizes off­peak electricity which is available during
times of the day or night when the power company can supply electricity more economically. By using this off­
peak electricity for heating, the power company may offer a special incentive such as a reduced electric rate,
an off­peak heating rate, a time­of­use (TOU) rate, or monthly credits on your heating bill.
When off­peak hours are available, the furnace converts electricity to heat which is then stored in its ceramic
brick core. The amount of heat stored in the brick core varies in relation to outdoor temperature, owner
preference, utility peak conditions, and the requirements of the space being heated. This stored heat becomes
available for space heating needs as determined by the wall thermostat that is strategically located in the living
space.
When the wall thermostat senses a need for heat, the core blower and supply blower in the furnace operate.
The core blower circulates the hot brick air and warms the heat exchanger located in the base of the furnace.
The supply air blower circulates room air through the exchanger where it is heated and then delivers it to the
conditioned space.
