My current boiler is a simple thing (like me) and just heats water. It's an open vent condensing boiler (Keston 50). An external 3 port valve, a hot water tank with thermostat, electronic CH/HW controller, electrical junction box and a circulating pump complete the picture. It's a system I understand and has proved to be fairly reliable for nearly 20 years so I wish to replace like with like - as far as possible.
I'm sourcing a new boiler. Put off by two examples of W-B boilers I've experienced so looking at alternative makes. Thanks to this forum, I've been introduced to Intergas boilers. Their simplicity appeals but I'm a bit confused by the following wording in the boiler's operating instructions. I'd appreciate an explanation/clarfication:

Section 1.2 confuses me. Do I take it that the Intergas Compact HRE OV18 boiler has some or all of my currently external parts included under the bonnet? And if so, will the boiler shut off the CH (assuming it's on at the time) when HW is called for? When cold, the HW tank takes some time to heat to set temperature. Would the radiators remain off for all this time? Thanks for your consideration.
