Would it cost more to run central heating with an unvented hot water

R.

In my opinion yes. All other things being equal there will be some heat
lost from the hot water cylinder which in summer will be wasted.


I think the 'all other things equal' would need to be qualified. For
example, I've got a dishwasher and an electric shower, so need very
little hot water from the boiler. And not everyone needs (or wants) a
room heated by the cylinder.
