Hi,

My house is heated by an oil boiler (furnace). The boiler heats water
and then a circulator pump circulates the water all over the house to
the baseboards.

Is there a way to / Do you know anyone who did something similar to
this befo
-Make a hole in the boiler
-Insert an electric element
-Connect the element to an aquastat
-The boiler would now be electricity heated!!!


Since you don't know the difference between a boiler and a furnace, I doubt
you have the skill to do a major conversion like that. No, you don't drill
any hoes in boilers.

Hint: Boilers heat water; furnaces heat air
