[QUOTE="binky, post: 525719, member: 490"] Hot water is one thing, central heating is a much higher demand, if you look at electric boilers they start at 9kW. What I have done previously is wire an immersion controller to a very basic convection heater - NB no electronic controls are compatible with the way immersion controllers work, it has to be a simple resistive load. This allowed pre-heating areas of the house thereby reducing the load on the central heating system. Might be worth looking at solar thermal for heating, although I hate to think how much that would cost. [/QUOTE]
