Customers choose Viessmann boilers for several compelling reasons that go beyond basic functionality, focusing on innovation, long-term value, and modern convenience.
- Innovation in Heating: Efficiency and Emissions
Viessmann is a leader in developing highly efficient and environmentally conscious heating solutions. A key innovation is their Inox-Radial stainless steel heat exchanger. This is a significant advantage over the aluminum versions used by many competitors because stainless steel is more resistant to corrosion and maintains its high efficiency over the boiler's lifespan. This leads to:
Exceptional Efficiency: Many Viessmann boilers are A-rated for energy efficiency, with some achieving up to 98% efficiency, which can lead to notable savings on energy bills.
Reduced Emissions: The efficient combustion and advanced burner technology (like the MatriX-Plus burner in some models) contribute to lower CO2 and NOx emissions, reducing the homeowner's carbon footprint.
- Future-Proofed Technology (Hydrogen-Ready)
With the push towards a low-carbon future, Viessmann is at the forefront of preparing for hydrogen as a fuel source.
Hydrogen-Ready Boilers: Many of Viessmann's current models, including the popular Vitodens 100-W, are "hydrogen-ready" and are certified to operate on a natural gas mix containing up to 20% hydrogen. This means they are a safe investment for the transition period.
100% Hydrogen Boilers: Viessmann is also actively developing and testing prototypes of boilers that can run on 100% pure hydrogen, which could be converted from natural gas with a simple, cost-effective burner replacement. This provides a clear, future-proof path for homeowners to adapt to new fuel sources without a full boiler replacement.
- WiFi Connectivity and Smart Features
Modern Viessmann boilers are designed for the smart home, giving customers greater control and convenience.
ViCare App: Many of their boilers come with built-in Wi-Fi or can be easily connected using an add-on module. This allows the homeowner to control their heating system from a smartphone or tablet using the ViCare app.
Remote Control: The app enables users to adjust temperature, set heating schedules, and switch to "party mode" or "away mode" from anywhere.
Maintenance and Monitoring: The smart features also benefit the installer. They can remotely monitor the boiler's performance and receive notifications about potential faults, allowing for proactive maintenance and quicker service.
