Gas heating question

Bluefoam

I grew up in a house with oil burning central heating, a water tank and emersion for heating...

I'm going to move into a house with gas heating, which has no tank... Will it provide instant hot water for the shower? Is this kind of system compatible with a nest thermostat?

I ask because while it will stay for the short-term, I may change it later on and need to plan around it.

Sounds like a Combi boiler, the hot water will not be instantaneous you will have a draw off of whatever water is in the pipework but there will be always hot water available as long as your boiler is working. It's a great system as in you only use gas to heat whatever water you use as opposed to heating a cylinder of water and only using a showers worth.
And yes you can use the Nest thermostat with this boiler.

Thanks. Sounds incredibly simple. Happy days.
