Introducing Viessmann 35kw Boilers

Viessmann has 35kW options in all of three key types of boilers, so that’s a combi, regular, and system. All their new Vitodens boilers are now hydrogen-ready boilers too, so they escape the gas boiler ban and can run on up to 20% hydrogen mixed with natural gas!

As a quick reminder, a combi boiler provides both heat and hot water but don’t need to have water tanks or cylinders installed so, not surprisingly, they are the most popular choice in the UK.  They do struggle to cope when hot water is needed from more than one tap at the same time, so it might not be a great choice for busy households.

A regular boiler is a more traditional way of heating the home. They’re also known as conventional or heat only systems, and they need a cylinder in which to store the hot water and a storage tank for the cold water. This type of boiler can be perfect for large homes with more than one bathroom as they can happily supply hot water to more than one outlet at the same time.

The system boiler is similar to the regular boiler, but it only needs a hot water cylinder; there’s no need for the cold-water storage tank as the hot water is pumped directly from the system boiler. Again, these are perfect for the larger home with high demands on the hot water system. Check out some of the best sytem boilers here.

So, coming back to our 35kW boilers, this is at the upper end of the power output for most boiler ranges, so you’ll likely have a large property to supply with the heat and hot water.  That usually means that these are a good choice for properties with a minimum of 3 bedrooms plus two bathrooms and those bathrooms are often in use at the same time.

Most modern boilers do adjust their output according to demand, so it’s not going to cost a lot more in running costs for a higher kW. Where there can be a price difference is in the cost of purchasing the boiler, to begin with.

Boiler not working? If your boiler is over 10 years old then it may be time for a new one.

The Vitodens 200-W combi boiler is a powerful gas condensing boiler which is an excellent match for larger homes. Converting up to 98% of the fuel into heat this is one of the most efficient boilers on the market. But big power doesn’t have to mean high levels of noise; the 200-W has a low fan speed which means whisper-quiet operation.

The Vitodens 200-W features an Inox-Radial heat exchanger which is highly resistant to corrosion and so will help to extend the life of the boiler while avoiding all the hassles of downtime due to repairs being needed.

This is a wall-mounted boiler, and its size makes it perfect for fitting in a kitchen cabinet. If you need a system boiler then there’s also a version of the Vitodens 200-w 35kW to meet your needs.

This 35kW system has been awarded an A rating for efficiency which will also keep your utility bills low and it’s better for the environment too.

Should I get a Viessmann 35kw Combi Boiler?

The size of your boiler is measured in kilowatts (kW), and it’s this which tells us how much energy a boiler can output in the form of heat.  So, the more heat and hot water you need, the higher the kW of your boiler needs to be.

The 35kW boiler is generally best suited to larger homes with up to 15 radiators. If you have ten or fewer radiators, then the chances are that a 25kW boiler is going to be more than powerful enough for your needs.

It used to be recommended to oversize your boiler to take into account all the boiler heat, which was lost due to poor efficiency. However, boilers are now so efficient that there’s no need to purchase a boiler with a higher kW than you need.  

A boiler that is underpowered will struggle to function in the way that you need it to which may mean radiators are not getting as warm as they should or a lack of hot water reaching bathroom taps.
