In my opinion, unless your heating a very small room or a larger room that is super insulated, using wind generated power for space heating at such a low voltage is not very practical. The statement "heat your whole house" - with 24V heaters is kind of a nonsense come on. It might be more practical if you generated higher voltages and strung 24V heaters in series. For a 24V heater to put out as much heat as a standard 1500 W 120V small space heater it would draw 62.5 amps. The connecting wire would get costly.
