Now that I use my stove for heating the house I want to stop using oil altogether. I have a 25 + year old boiler and it still runs to heat water. Has anyone by-passed the boiler and hooked up an electric water heater instead? My plumber tells me that a stainless steel tank used in conjunction with my boiler would cost $1,800 installed. I don’t want to spend that kind of money and don’t want to use oil.
