Putting a tank system in series with my tankless coil?

Hi my heat is off of my oil furnace via a coil tankless system. What do you think of installing an electric tank system in series with the water coming off the furnace so I don't have to run the furnace in the summer?

Electric in Series

I've seen it done many times. Sometimes the electric is in series with the tankless, sometimes parallel.

Thanks Grady! I may actually put an electric tankless system in line with my oil one. Try to heat the house with wood and not use the oil furnace at all, except once in a while.

Electric Tankless

I have very little experience with electric tankless water heaters but the little I have had is all bad.
