"If" this is a boiler system "and" it has a boiler fed domestic hot water heat exchanger, the system most likely has a priority thermostat or relay that has failed. Most systems allow the domestic hot water heating to have "priority" via some type of control strategy. Or maybe they did not install one. Or maybe this does not answer your question at all. Not knowing all the parameters makes it tough. If this happens to be an AMTI HW model heatmaker boiler, the three wire thermostat on the DHW leaving pipe is defective. lc
It uses as many as you run through it, but who would want to heat hot water?
Not unless you are using radiant heat where there are water lines within the foundation that circulate hot water through them to heat the house or outdoor patio.
No, a hot water tank heats water by itself.
Is this gas or electric?
It's called water heater. There isn't a reason to heat hot water
They should insulate their house before they insulate their hot water tanks because if the house might be cold they would want to turn on their heater and heat the house. If their heater is on with the water tank that would take up alot of energy.
The hot water would conduct its heat to the part of the medal spoon in the water.
you get hot water and put it on top of the house and you are don.
It would take longer for the house to cool down because hot air can heat up the house faster
It depends on what the container is made of. Say it was made of tin and was a hot day, the water would become hot because the tin would heat up and the water would steal the heat energy because it is cooler.

You may have a small hot water heater in your house or apartment, this will use up all the hot water in doing laundry so the tank needs to fill up and heat again.

Over time, a smart house could conserve a lot of energy (minimize the energy wasted). For example, the lights would go out when you leave the room. Another example, of smart design: the heat from the back of the refrigerator would be used to pre-heat your hot water.
Hot Water extinguishes more effectively than cold water as it has a higher specific heat capacity than cold water.
If hot water burned down houses there would be many more fires.
A black house would hold more heat because once the heat gets inside it will stay there longer. On the other hand, the white house would be more likely to refract some of the light so it wouldn't be as hot.
