I did the conversion and figured it will take about 2700 watts to heat the thing....

OUCH! Big heating bill.......

Im thinking that you would probably use a hot tub heater instead of ebo's! ;D

Wow what a great site.

I would be doing that except the $300 electric bill sort of set me back.

Now there is more insentive for me to work harder and build my own home. Wonder if the builder would think i was crazy. Or even if something like that would pass inspection.

Does anyone know if something like that could pass inspection?

Also need someone who know about solar heating panels....
