Superheat has introduced a hybrid boiler for homeowners seeking cost-effective heating, priced at $2000. This boiler combines traditional heating with cryptocurrency mining using specialized ASIC chips, generating Bitcoin to offset energy costs for heating water. While the consumption remains similar to standard electric heaters, specific power and hash rate details are undisclosed, raising questions about its mining efficiency and profitability for consumers.

Abstract generation in progress

Superheat has developed an innovative solution for homeowners seeking cost-effective heating options—a $2000 hybrid water heater that combines traditional functionality with crypto mining activity.

The device operates based on the use of dedicated ASIC chips. These microchips are integrated directly into the water heater’s design and work on computing Bitcoin blockchain hashes. The mining process occurs simultaneously with water heating, turning the consumed electricity into a dual benefit for the user.

The key idea behind the device is that the bitcoins generated help offset the electricity costs required for heating water. Thus, the consumer receives hot water with virtually no additional expenses thanks to the parallel mining operations.

At the same time, the device’s power consumption remains comparable to standard electric water heaters. However, the exact specifications regarding power and hash rate (TH/s) remain unknown, as the company has not published these details in its informational materials. This raises certain questions about the actual mining efficiency and the device’s payback for the end user.
