Electric water heating

Economical and energy efficient

An electric water heater can meet all your needs for just $15 to $20 a month on our off-peak rate. And almost no energy is wasted because electric water heaters are as much as 94 percent efficient. Fossil fuel water heaters by comparison are only 45 percent to 65 percent efficient.

Flameless electric water heating is also clean, safe, and easy to maintain.

Ask how you can install your electric water heater on one of our low off-peak rates.

The following rebates are available.

  • $150 rebate for installing a new 80-gallon electric water heater on an off-peak rate.
  • $200 rebate for installing a 105- to 120-gallons water heater on an off-peak rate.
  • $75 rebates per water heater when you purchase and install 2 or more 50-gallon water heaters at the same time on an off-peak rate.
  • $20 per kilowatt installed for businesses that install 12 kilowatts or more of controlled-service water heating and a minimum of 120 gallons of storage capacity.

You'll enjoy economical hot water for years to come!

Rates mentioned in web material subject to change

On October 1, 2007, Otter Tail Power Company submitted a proposal to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) to increase base rates for electric service in Minnesota for the first time since 1986.

On November 27, 2007, the MPUC approved our request to increase rates by approximately 5.4 percent—over what customers paid in 2006, including the cost-of-energy adjustment—on an interim, or temporary, basis beginning November 30, 2007. The proposed interim rate increase will remain in effect until the MPUC decides the case in August 2008.

Information reported on this web site does not reflect interim or final rate increases. We will update all rate information after the MPUC makes its final decision.
