U-Shift Water Heating

The U-Shift Water Heating program encourages members to allow a switch to be installed free of charge (a$215-value) on their electric water heaters and earn a monthly bill credit. Receive a one-time installation bill credit when a new U-Shift switch is installed on an electric water heater.

This is the most popular U-Shift program, and rebates and incentives are available for participating members.

U-Shift Water Heating Program

Adams Electric works with its members to reduce the demand for electricity during times when the demand and cost of electricity is the highest. This is done mainly by asking members to allow the cooperative to shift (interrupt) electricity use for their electric water heaters. The cooperative works with members to allow an interruptible switch to be installed free of charges (a $215-value) on their electric water heaters and earn a monthly bill credit on the energy supply portion of their bill. Rebates are available to those who allow a new U-Shift Switch (DRU/demand response unit) to be installed on their electric water heater.

U-$AVE WITH THE CREDIT: Have a U-Shift switch installed free of charge on your electric water heater, and/or heat pump or central air unit and receive an ongoing applicable bill credit. This credit is $15 per month on the energy supply portion of your bill for an interruptible water heater or $7.50 per month for a heat pump water heater. 

Disclaimer: If you choose to leave the U-Shift program, the monthly bill credit will no longer be applied, and you must return the equipment to the cooperative, or you may be charged the value of the device.
