until at some point it isn't, leaving you with a really expensive resistive heater



and a truck of cash


There's a company that has that idea - Heatbit. https://heatbit.com

Feel free to play with the numbers.

The numbers that I come up with for 6 months (not going to run the heater in the summer) put an earnings of $285 with a cost of electricity of $850 to do it.

And that's before the cost of the device which is a $1000 item (compare with a $60 one that heats more efficiently). That isn't exactly a truck load of cash.
