Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hot water supplying apparatus which enables supply of hot water by utilizing waste heat of a pipe and a boiler as a heat source if there is a small quantity of residual hot water to use therefor, the residual hot water being required when using hot water of an instantaneous boiler, and a method for utilizing waste heat of a hot water supplying apparatus. The hot water supplying apparatus of the present invention for achieving said purpose comprises: a sensible heat exchanger for heating a heating fluid by means of combustion heat from a burner; a hot water supply heat exchanger for generating hot water by means of a heat exchange between the heating fluid heated by the sensible heat exchanger and direct water, and supplying the hot water to a faucet; and a pump for circulating the heating fluid via a heating fluid flow path which connects the sensible heat exchanger and the hot water supply heat exchanger, wherein the hot water supplying apparatus comprises: a signal reception unit for receiving a final hot water use signal; and a control unit for stopping the operation of the burner on the basis of the signal received by the signal reception unit and controlling the pump to circulate the heating fluid.
