Support for an electric immersion heater

[MarkTewk]

We have a 2nd generation Nest thermostat that currently controls a gas boiler for room and hot water heating.  Rising costs for gas means it may be cheaper to use an electric immersion heater pre-installed in our hot water tank.  Is there a way that our thermostat could control the electric immersion heater?  Are there any alternatives?
