Wind power heat

I have an idea, maybe this has being discussed here before???
But what if you used the energy from a wind mill for a heat source instead of charging batteries or tying to the electrical grid.
Lets say you have a 1000watt wind mill that feeds electricity to a heating element in an insulated water tank that is used as a supplement for space heating.
I don't think that it would heat a house but it might cut down how much the furnace runs.
What do you guys think?
