Electric Water heater in tandem with oil burner

I plan on installing an electric Water Heater. I'd like to do this in tandem with the oil burner, which currently supplies hot water.

Can I install the water heater in tandem with the oil burner?
(The output from the furnace coil would feed the inlet of the water heater. In the summer, I would have the furnace off.)

Should I use an expansion tank between burner and electric heater to absorb pressure changes?
