Generally a "Boiler" is a form of a furnace used in hot water heating systems, while a "Water Heater" supplies fresh hot potable water to your home (sink, shower, etc.).

While Tim is right, we do have a hot water boiler/heater that does both jobs. In fact when my water heater goes out, it's on the way, I'll change over to a boiler/heater conversion. one until to serve both purposes.
