The energy economy guide for futureproof and efficient heating systems

Product catalog summary
Foreword
Climate protection and sustainable energy supply are crucial due to limited fossil fuels. The heating market in Germany, responsible for 40% of energy consumption, presents significant energy-saving opportunities. Modernizing heating systems can save 30% on fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emissions by 40%. Viessmann offers advanced heating technology to achieve these goals, enhancing property values and reducing energy costs.
Introduction
Viessmann's innovative heating solutions promote responsible energy use, reducing bills and environmental impact. This guide provides comprehensive information on selecting the right heating system based on individual needs.
Sustainability
To combat climate change, CO2 emissions must be halved by 2050. The heating sector can significantly contribute to this goal. Viessmann supports sustainable practices, showing that current technology can meet future energy and climate targets.
Energy Savings Potential
Heating systems account for 57% of household energy consumption. Replacing old boilers with modern systems can reduce energy bills by 30%. Viessmann offers efficient condensing technology, wood-based systems, and heat pumps to utilize renewable energy sources.
Modernization Strategies
Research indicates that upgrading heating systems is more cost-effective than building insulation. A new heating system can amortize in six years, while insulation takes longer. Viessmann recommends modernizing heating systems first, then considering insulation for additional savings.
Flue Gas Inspection
Many heating systems in Germany are outdated, leading to inefficiencies. Regular flue gas inspections ensure compliance with combustion regulations but do not assess overall system efficiency. High boiler temperatures suggest the need for system upgrades.
Overview of Heating Systems
The document discusses modern heating systems, focusing on condensing boilers, CHP systems, biomass heating, and heat pumps. It emphasizes energy efficiency, cost savings, and environmental benefits.
Condensing Boilers
Modern condensing boilers for oil and gas operate with up to 98% efficiency by utilizing latent heat in flue gases. They reduce energy consumption by 30% compared to older systems. Systems built before 1978 must be replaced due to regulations.
Energy Economy Check
Viessmann offers an online tool and app to estimate potential energy savings from modernizing heating systems. Users input details like floor space and energy consumption to receive feedback on cost savings and efficiency improvements.
Energy Sources and Heating Systems
The choice of energy source may be limited by availability or regulations. Viessmann provides guidance on selecting suitable heating systems, including condensing technology, CHP, biomass, and heat pumps. Their products are highly rated for efficiency and quality.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
CHP systems generate heat and power simultaneously, offering independence from external power utilities and protection against rising electricity prices. They are suitable for homes with high gas and power consumption and can be integrated with existing systems.
Biomass Heating
Wood-based heating systems are sustainable and CO2 neutral, offering significant cost savings compared to older systems. They utilize home-grown fuel and are eligible for public subsidies.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps use natural energy from the ground, air, or water, providing efficient heating and cooling. They can be combined with existing systems to improve efficiency and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Photovoltaic systems can further enhance independence by powering heat pumps with solar energy.
Overview of Renewable Energy Technologies
The document provides a comprehensive guide on Viessmann's heating solutions, focusing on renewable energy technologies such as heat pumps, solar thermal systems, and photovoltaic systems. It highlights the benefits of these systems in terms of energy savings, environmental impact, and potential subsidies.
Key Sections
1. Heat Pumps
Viessmann heat pumps can reduce energy bills by 50% and provide cooling in summer. They are optimal for dual-mode operation with existing condensing systems and can be powered by on-site photovoltaic systems, reducing dependency on energy suppliers. Public subsidies may be available for these environmentally friendly systems.
2. Solar Energy
Solar thermal systems can cover up to 60% of the annual energy demand for domestic hot water heating and up to 35% for central heating in new builds. Photovoltaic systems convert sunlight into electricity, which can be used on-site or fed into the grid. Solar energy systems can significantly reduce heating bills and are eligible for public subsidies.
3. Oil and Gas Condensing Boilers
Viessmann offers high-efficiency oil and gas condensing boilers with energy utilization up to 98%. These systems are designed for clean combustion and low emissions, with a 10-year guarantee on stainless steel heat exchangers. They are suitable for both new installations and modernizations.

The test result in the ue gas inspection report makes no assessment of the efficiency of the heating system High boiler water and ue gas temperatures are unmistakable evidence of the fact that an outdated heating system is uneconomical. In Germany, around 18 million heating systems are in use. Of these, just 20 percent are state of the art. With the majority of these uneconomical systems, up to 30 percent of valuable energy disappears up the chimney. The test report merely documents the correct combustion of oil and gas The ue gas inspector's test report only documents at regular intervals whether...
