Hi,
My house is heated by an oil boiler (furnace). The boiler heats water and then a circulator pump circulates the water all over the house to the baseboards.
Is there a way to / Do you know anyone who did something similar to this before:
-Make a hole in the boiler
-Insert an electric element
-Connect the element to an aquastat
-The boiler would now be electricity heated!!!
Another way to do this I thought of:
-Buy a small (tank) water heater
-Put it next to the existing oil boiler
-Take the input and output pipes of the oil boiler and connect it to the input and output of the water heater.
This system would work like that: -The water heater would keep the water hot -The circulator would start when the thermostat says so -The circulator would bring the hot water all over the house until the heat goes up in the rooms and the thermostat shuts off the circulator.
Any ideas? NeilSanner
