Are you using a Heatbit? I was looking up calculators for heating with a Heatbit and that's what triggered my kWh cost investigation.

We do have some electric heaters in the house, so if I can replace one of those with a Heatbit or similar *and* pay less in electric *and* have BTC price go up this year, I imagine I'll be pretty happy.

Regular old s19 converted to use an 8" AC infinity fan.

If you are replacing an electric space heater it is a watt for watt swap and you get 100% profit in a sense because you get the same heat per dollar from a miner as an electric space heater.

I have mini splits which use a variable amount of electric per BTU depending on outdoor temp and duty cycle needed to keep up. The colder and windier the more $/BTU they cost me. The miner creates a base heat that keeps my mini splits at a cheaper duty cycle. Not quite as straight forward but I still get more sats than just doing a DCA with the extra $ I spend on my electric bill.

...minus the cost of the mining hardware (and replacing them when they croak)..

Then your next rabbit hole is electronics repair so you can fix your own hashboards.
