New home builders who are building a home in Boone Electric's territory can get a free 50-gallon water heater. All you need to do is have it installed. To qualify, you must enroll in our Hot Water Assured Program. A load management device may be installed on the water heater to allow us to control its energy use during peak periods of demand for electricity.
Hot Water Assured Program
The Hot Water Assured Program helps keeps rates low by affecting energy usage during peak and off-peak times. This program allows some of the water heaters on our system to be shut off for a short period of time during times of high electricity usage.
A load management device, controlled by an FM radio signal from our office, will be installed on your water heater. Upon signal, the switch on your water heater will open the circuit, disconnecting power to the water heater. At the end of the cycle time, the circuit will close automatically and give your water heater electrical power again.
By enrolling in our load management programs, you are doing your part to help keep electric rates stable. For more information, contact the Member Services Department at 573-449-4181.
