I've installed over 30 of the Vitodens 100's and a few 200's (and viessman oil boilers) over the last 8 years. I have had very little installation issues or call back complaints. Recommend the low loss headers, and a quality air separator. Also check water quality and use cleaner/conditioners (authorized by Viessman) especially if this is a replacement. Setup or check combustion with quality certified equipment. Remember any product can have issues but many of my findings in the field come back to installation. Follow manufacturer recommendations and true of any brand, hire a company who has actually been to a class for the brand they are installing.

Had this boiler installed winter 2008 whilst building a very large extension to my property. Services new plumbed rads (8) and underfloor heating to new build and (12) old rads to existing along with heating my hot water. Never had any problems with the boiler (professionally installed, regularly serviced). My bills are very low in relation to the size of my property. No complaints only praise as its on 24/7 365.

Had this boiler installed for my self build and have been running it for over 5 years without a single issue. It's running hot water, radiators on one floor and under floor heating on two floors. Make sure it's installed by someone truly competent and of course keep it serviced. My bills are far lower but this is probably as much due to the new house construction as to the boiler.

Far superior than any other boiler, if you have a Viessmann installed by an accediated Viessmann installer you will be offered an extended warranty for ten years. I have had my current boiler for three years, my gas bill reduced considerably after I had it installed. It his boiler knocks the socks off my last boiler

Three years ago I moved into a house with a Veissman boiler and have had no trouble with it whatsoever. It's easy to use, good controls and everything's very logical. I had the boiler checked and serviced before the winter really started - the maintenance guy gave it a thorough going over and replaced something small which didn't cost very much. The boiler has worked well again over the winter, keeping the house warm. This is a great boiler - compact so it doesn't take up laods of space and it runs efficiently without any problems. All in all, I'm very impressed with this boiler and would recommend it to others who are considering ahving a new boiler installed.

Have had our Vitodens 100 for 2 years now and could not be happier with it. It runs so quietly it is remarkable. Very efficient, I reduced my heating costs to less than half what I paid to run my old oil fired boiler. Also should mention that the physical size of the Vitodens is very small, compact. I gained a whole new room when I got rid of the old boiler. To me, the only downside might be the initial cost - it is not cheap by any means. Wish I had added the DHW Combi unit at time of install, but am going to add it this year.

We've had this boiler for two years without a problem - although the wireless thermostat (standard version) is not the easiest to use or understand . The benefit of this boiler - closed system- is that everything is contained in the boiler itself- we had a pressure cylinder 'megaflow' installed recently for the loft conversion and the plumber was surprised that we didn't have an external pump etc that is usual with the Bosch systems, Everything was installed smoothly and the boiler works well over three floors. I also have to add that our heating bill came down 400 pounds a year in the first year and with the cheaper tariffs now it's 500 (we did have a 40 year old boiler (open system) before though!).

Vitodens 100-W 30kw I was a little sceptcal about this combination boiler after reading many poor reviews on this site, however this as been installed for 14 months and i'm very impressed with the efficiency of the boiler, helping drive my gas bill down to only £65 a month (3 bed semi) The boiler was installed onto a newly piped system a mixture of copper and plastic pipe. A scale inhibitor and Magnaclean filter was installed and the full system cleaned by a powerflush. The gas pipe had to be increased from 15mm to a mixture of 28mm reducing to 22mm. I have had absolutely no issues with the running or reliability of the unit. It is super quiet too, my son can hardly hear it working within the fitted unit in his bedroom, Hot water is always excellent and there is more than enough Ummph to run my bath & digital shower and other tap outlets. I think this boiler runs slightly cooler than my previously owned models (Ideal & Woc Bosch) so therefore is takes a little longer to get the house to temperature. We find the economy setting of 4 is ideal for Autumn and cold mornings but once winter hits the setting has to be increased to the absolute maximum to heat the house. All in all a great boiler andit has a full 5 year parts guarantee (if installed by a Veissmann approved installer) however it must be serviced yearly to qualify.Winner!

I have to agree the v-100 is a good boiler and worth the money! I replaced a wood/electric boiler with a nat. gas v100 and have cut my heating costs by 50 per cent with no problems so far. If your considering having one installed find a good fitter that has had experience with this product and dont cheap out on the installation.
written by abcgascare on 06/04/2015
Loads bad revue on this but its about correct install and some one bitching the price install thats not the boilers fault . 5 year parts labour pay about £200 get 10 year no brainier. Again my favorite its spacious inside easy to work on I like it . But you need a filter eg Magnaclean 2 budget £100 for extra life and energy saving 6% , I will not fit any boiler with out one rubbish or a diamond . My top list is Viessmann Vaillant Baxi duotec , budget Heatline Capriz plus . not on my list Ferroli parts are a expensive price , Ideal but think improved , Worster Bosch are poor aluminum heat exchanger if i said all the bad points be here all day stay away ,if your plumber says there great then he don't fix them or properly service them .

I've had a Vitodens 100 in my rental property for over seven years. It's never let me down. What more can I say it's a boiler and it works. By boiler prior was a baxi and lasted only two years.

I am a totally honest man and would like to think that most people are. But reading some of these reviews I would doubt that they are! I own a company that specialises in the repair and installation of boilers, I know almost everything about the Viessmmann boiler rainge. I have only had one pipe split and that was due to a subcontractor not flushing the chemical out of a system correctly. Viessmann boilers are bullet proof and the 200 rainge are out of this world for reliability. We have over 4000 customers on our books and we have been specialising in Viessmann for 6 years now and in that time I suppose we have had 25 repairs. So I truly doubt most of these reviews.

Hi, I'm working on a claim where the system makes a bit of noise for about 1 minute at the end of the day. It's quite loud. I don't think its the Viessmann 100, but rather an installation issue. That said, what could the deficient installation be? I've seen comments on level installation, pressure etc, the installer in this case advised that the sound was 'normal' and to keep the temperature between 18 degrees and 22 at all times - which seems unreasonable to me. What are your thoughts here? You seem to know these systems quite well. I've read your posts!

I replaced an old oil fired boiler with a Vitodens 100 boiler (propane gas fired) heating our house and it works great.
We are wondering if we could connect from the existing system and install heating into our living room floor.
I believe this should be possible if we kept the loop intact. Would you agree? We have an unheated crawlspace under our living room and thought this may be a good way to warm the floor as we are replacing the flooring????
Comments or suggestions are most welcome.
Written on: 13/09/2015
Yes it would be possible. You would need a single zone underfloor pack, to blend/mix the temp if you have radiators on the rest of the system.

Well, do you live in Ontario ?
You can come fix mine . We have had our boiler for 4 years and it has now started to "boom" when it starts up . Scares the hell out of anyone near by.Ever repair person says we need a new one 20,000. To replace.it. They say it is difficult to fix. I think it's more that they do not know "how" to fix it.Vissemann Tec support says that it must have been installed not" level," and if it is not "level " it's not under warranty anymore! To make matters worse the company that we used to install it is now out of business.
If your in Ontario , please contact me. I and a architectural designer and have really pushed my clients into purchasing these boilers , but with the lack of support from this company , I'm not comfortable doing so anymore.

My boiler was installed just over 2 years ago. Apart from a error in the wiring up by the plumber the boiler has worked without fault. I think this comes down to the quality of the installation. The annual service is quiet expensive but keeps the 5 year warranty in place. My only complaint would be that I would like the display back lit.

During this cold winter I have further come to appreciate Scott Bivand's January 2009 installation of our Viessmann Vitodens 100 ultra high efficiency boiler that heats our home. Scott and his dad completed the installation in less than one day converting our 1870 house from oil to gas, arranged the removal of the old boiler and oil tank and left the basement cleaner than when they found it. Their plumbing job is a work of art on its own. They also installed a Bradford White on demand domestic water heater system at the same time. Small compact, high efficiency units - the extra space we gained in the basement was an added bonus - our heating bills plunged from about $1,500 a winter to about $600. Highly recommend Scott's AL+B Plumbing & Heating and the Viessman & Bradford White units. There were no hidden costs, all was as quoted. All has worked flawlessly. Of course Scott happens to be a boater - so its hardly surprising that he is a honourable fellow.

We have this boiler for nearly a year. It runs and runs. Just tested a heating run and cleaned the Magna Clean. Boiler heating came straight on.. It even has saved us money in this short period. People that write here that it is a piece of junk, they are lying through their teeth. Especially if you claim you had the boiler seven years and you can't EVEN SPELL VIESSMANN. Get a life, this boiler needs at least 4, 4,5 stars. We also have weather compensation and works flawless in cold weather. You don't feel any dip in temperature if the outside temperature has dropped significantly. I am the only one who has this in the street and people always ask if it is a camera. Lol. Very happy with it so far.

I have had my rotten boiler since 2008. My experience of its reliability is exactly the same as those of the people who complain about it. Not a year has passed that I have not had to call out a plumber at least three times (and that does not include the extortionately priced yearly servicing) because it has ceased to work.
Of course, the problem might not be with the boiler; it might be to do with stupid English plumbers. I am now attempting to persuade Viessmann to refer me to someone who will over-haul the boiler such that it becomes reliable. I somehow expect that there will be no response from Viessmann.

I've been installing Veissmann boilers for two years now and they are by far the best on the market. I previously fitted worcester bosch, but have found Veissmanns are more reliable and better made. No other manufacturer gives a 10 year guarantee on the heat exchanger. buy one now !!!
Written on: 02/04/2013
Worcester-Bosch give a 10yr heat exchanger warranty on gas boilers, and 5yr warranty on oil. Also their spares are a lot cheaper than Viessman.
Written on: 24/11/2013
Unless you have a water softener as Worcester use aluminium, instead of quality Stainless.
Your right though I can get Worcester spares quite easily, good job as I fix loads of them!

This person really knows what Viessmann stands for . I"ve been involved with the products for years and by far if installed correctly plus componets in the home like pumps and water pressures are correct they will never fail if set up correctly.
You have to take the time to set up properly check the system and the boiler will last forever.. They also have a 316 SS heat exchanger. The only system on the market that has that. JR

It's really a great boiler than other. I already provide a superb service from last 4 years. I am facing a problem with this couple of months ago . That is over heating but this boiler company provide me a free service for repair this boiler. I am truly happy with their service.

I've hAd this boiler just short of 5 years it's been a load of rubbish since the day it was installed,in just under 5 years it's had a replacement ignition switch which was to get the boiler working in the first place,18 months later a step motor ,then another 18 months on another step motor....it's now needs topping up everyday to get it to work at all...sick to death of it and don't say it has a 5 year warranty at the time I brought it it was only 3 year warranty ....that said you do expect a boiler to last longer then 5 years ...so people learn from my mistake and do not buy this boiler ..
