My highest electric bill before the OWB was $450.00 per month with an electric furnace. The following year with about the same weather in the same month it was about $200.00. This sold me on the OWB .

My electric bill before OWB for winter was $250 to $400 a month depending on how cold it was.
Last winter with OWB in use highest bill $145. It cut $35 off the bill when I turned hot water heater off and used hot water from my OWB.

Last year I shut down the boiler in the summer and used my electric hot water on a timer 4 hrs aday, I used 1 kw more than the wood boiler( saved on wood) but had I left it on 24/7  I believe my bill would of been much higher for the same amount of hot water used. Now heat 2 buildings hot water and we burn free pine so it is a good cost savings
