Took the words right out of my mouth. These units will give you a great economical
heating system and hot water on demand, so they are ideal for a situation like yours.

Dosn't this still require a hot water cylinder (whjat the OP calls a
'boiler') to provide DHW?

They can be controlled by their own internal flow switch to give instant hot to any
appliance or heating system they are attached to. They're basically a slightly bigger
version of an instant electric shower heater so they are very slim line and not as big
as a normal gas boiler with heat exchanger and a tank inside it. On heating systems
they only run when the water has cooled enough to bring the thermostat back on-line
and they work best on well lagged systems. But I suppose that's also true for gas
heated systems as well. They're quite economical to use really.

I suppose they could be controlled from a storage tank and thermostat configuration as
well but I've never had the opportunity to try that with them yet.
