Abstract
A method to heat water in an electrical boiler includes storing user's requests of hot water in association with corresponding times of requests, heating water in advance to a next user's request, wherein the next user's request is estimated on the stored user's requests, detecting a start time of a power request from the electrical boiler, detecting a stop time of the power request, determining that a user's request of hot water has occurred if a time difference between the detected stop time and the detected start time is longer than a predetermined time, the predetermined time being a time of activation of the electrical boiler, storing the determined user's request in association with a time of the user's request, estimating a next user's request based on the stored user's request and activating the electrical boiler to heat water in advance with respect to the estimated next user's request.
