Posted by dave2 on February 01, 2011 at 20:31:07 from (139.139.35.70):
with fuel oil prices rising (right at $4 gallon now), I'm brain storming.
Heating is hot water, the boiler takes care the heat and about a 35gal water tank for showers and sinks (washer and dishwasher heat their own water).
using between 3 gallons ($12) of fuel oil a day. Boiler is 20+ years old and a new one costs $5k+ . Was thinking to just get an electric 30gal or so water heater and hook it up with a circulation pump for the heat but am pulling out my hair trying to figure out how much power it will use for comparison. Have an on demand heater for shower, tub, and sinks that I hook up when it's not heating season and shut the boiler off. Can someone help me figure the monkey math for a close estimate?
As an example,
water heater would be 230 volt and max. 2000 watt.
