Hot Water Heater Question

[lkage (Larry Kage, CMI)]

A friend of mine, whom I doing my last mock inspection for (yes I’m a newbe) is installing a new HWH and asked if the supply can be from a hot water line. This is for a secondary hot water supply, the primary is a oil fired furnace. I’m not sure why he would want to do this, but I would like to give him an intelligent answer.

Is it a boiler not a furnace? Does the oil boiler have a separate zone for the domestic hot water?

It sounds like the new one may just be for storage?

Typically, for 2 water heaters, this applies:
