A heating system comprising a first flow pipe and a second flow pipe which are interconnected at ends thereof to form a closed loop fluid flow circuit. A housing having a passage extending therethrough for passage of water through the housing is interconnected with the fluid flow circuit, and a pump is utilized to circulate water through the fluid flow circuit. The housing provides at least one opening defined therein separate from the passage, and at least one heating element is inserted therein, projecting into the housing, so as to be in direct contact with the water therein. The heating element is powered by a power source for enabling the heating element to heat the water and operate the pump. Radiator panels are connected to the fluid flow circuit, to radiate the heat from the heated water flowing in the fluid flow circuit to a space heated by the heating system. A thermostatic safety control is provided in association with the heating element, which is adapted to turn the heating element off when a temperature of the water exceeds a pre-determined level. In another embodiment, a remote device can be used to selectively activate, or deactivate, the power source in heating the heating element.
