If you just have a shower or wash dishes so many gallons of water have been heated for no reason. Fair enough if you have a solar water heater etc but not gas or leccy. Get a condensing boiler and see the savings immediately.
Consider a boat, bottled gas would cost a fortune and there are no condensing combi boilers small enough in output.
Running flue fans also uses precious battery capacity. And as they are all mains, an inverter would have to be on permanently too.
