Saving Energy
... with a modern heating system
By purchasing a “modern” heating
system, you have taken a decisive step
towards saving energy.
Viessmann boilers operate optimally to
ensure minimum fuel consumption for
maximum heating value - efficient,
environmentally friendly and comfortable.
Your new heating system provides the
following alternatives to save energy:
– a well insulated hot water heating boiler
and domestic hot water tank
– clean combustion and high energy
extraction
...with proper heating
Additional energy can be saved by
considering the following measures in
addition to the above technical
improvements:
– proper ventilation: briefly open the
windows

while turning off
thermostats or radiator valves
2
– avoid excess space heating; strive for a
room temperature of 68 ºF / 20 ºC
sinceevery2ºF/1ºCoflowerroom
temperature can save up to 5% in
heating costs.

.
– properly set the temperature for the
DHW tank

during nighttime hours.
