Regular inspection and service by a
qualified heating contractor is critical to
the performance of the Viessmann
Vitosol 100 and 300. Neglected
maintenance, e.g. forgoing regular
cleaning services, impacts on warranty
and will result in decreased efficiency
of the system. Regular cleaning and
maintenance ensures clean,
environmentally friendly and efficient
operation. We recommend a
maintenance contract with a qualified
heating contractor.
