Difference between a boiler and water heater?
A hot water heater is the storage tank of water that is responsible for the supply of hot water to the many fixtures in the house, such as showers and sinks. It does NOT supply heat for the home itself. There are two basic types of water heaters, one that runs on gas or some other fuel and one that runs on electric. A boiler on the other hand IS responsible for the heating of a home itself. Water or steam in a boiler reach much higher temperatures than the water in a hot water tank and therefore its used for heating and not drinking water or potable water. In a steam system for heating, pipes run throughout the house from the boiler carrying steam that eventually gives off its heat at the many radiators. In a hydronic system for heat, smaller pipes carry hot water to various baseboards around the house that release the heat using circulator pumps to push the water through and back to the boiler.

As the hot water passes through each radiator, it releases heat into the room and then returns to the boiler to be reheated and circulated again.
