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.

So you are confirming that (for you) a combi is cheaper than un-vented
HWC. I am struggling to come up with a scenario where the HWT may be
CHEAPER than a combi (but I can think of many scenarios when it may be
more convenient).
