The switch will flip rapidly as soon as there are plug-and-play devices that offer real energy savings.

I think we’re close to that with space heaters already and perhaps we just got a lot closer with water heaters.

I love that water heater idea. I just might pull the trigger on the element replacement posted today.

We have a gas water heater, so it'll take a bit more effort for us to switch over.

Me too. Hashrate House has one that goes beneath a gas water heater, but I don't really have the sats to buy one right now. He's a really cool guy though and I hope to get his model when I can.

Wow! That's awesome. We would need to have some electrical work done before I could hook it up, but it looks very promising.

When I put in the circuit for my s19s, I called up an electrician buddy for a quote. He said he'd do it for the joy of seeing me suffer doing the dirty work. Then he'd do the smart person stuff for free. Joke was on him! The dirty work turned out to be a friggin' blast! So, if you got any electrician buddies, check with them first. ;)

I have an electric heater in my little snow bird/mini mining farm down south. I need to take a break from remotely monitoring my solar power setup down there at some point!
