Replace Oil Buring Hot Water Heater With Electric For Heat?
Posted on | December 6, 2009 | 1 Comment
I have replaced my house hot water heater with a tankless hot water heater. I still have an old oil burning hot water heater for my baseboard heat. I figure that a gallon of water will go about 294 ft. in 1/2 in. copper tube. Can I replace the oil burning water heater with a 20 or 40 gallon electric heater? If so, suggestions on how or what not to do?

I would stay with a fossil fuel/ Propane/ Fuel oil. If you try this with a electric waterheater it will never keep up as far as your heating needs would be. Plus the power company would be tickled to death when they send the bill!
