Incentives help engineers enter heating season

Improved warranties, sales promotions and simplified commissioning processes are part of a new engineer-focused package of incentives now available from Viessmann.

The ‘Viessmann Simplified’ campaign applies to the company’s most popular heat pumps, and domestic and light commercial boilers. Designed with input from engineers, the package includes a 12-year warranty (increased from 10 years) for Vitodens 100-W and 050-W domestic boilers registered on the Viessmann Installer Portal between 1 September to 31 December.

There is also an extendable 10-year warranty on Viessmann Vitocal 150-A and 151-A air source heat pumps. This warranty offer does not have an expiration date.

Viessmann has launched five financial incentive schemes to help installers and merchants make specifying Viessmann products easier than ever. All promotions are for registrations (or purchases, for merchants), made on the Viessmann Installer Portal between 1 September and 31 December. Full terms and conditions can be found on the portal.

Existing Viessmann engineers can enjoy unlimited cashback claims of £150 for every five Vitodens 050-W boilers registered and £300 for every five Vitodens 100-W boilers. Claims must be made by 12 January, 2025. For engineers new to the Viessmann brand, an incentive payment of up to £500 will be made when they register their first Viessmann product, subject to the same claim period. The welcome payment ranges from £100 for a Vitodens 050-W boiler to £500 for a Vitocal 150-A or 151-A air source heat pump.

The latest versions of Viessmann’s Vitodens 050-W, 100-W and 111-W gas-condensing boilers require a three- or six-step commissioning process, respectively, with the whole process taking only between 10 and 20 minutes.

Merchants will be credited £200 for every sale of a Vitodens 100-W Combi (26/30/35 kW) with flue and filter, or £250 where the sale includes the Vitotrol 100E controls package.

Installers of Viessmann’s Vitodens 200-W light commercial boilers (49kW or 60kW) can also take advantage of an exclusive £700+ pack discount for each boiler plus connection set (pump and LLH), as well as a 10-year warranty, when purchased through a merchant and registered via the Viessmann Installer Portal.

Installers wishing to use the Viessmann Access MCS umbrella scheme – which provides pre-commissioning (depending on product), commissioning and MCS-registration fee, can do so for a fee of just £600 for this limited time period, saving up to £749 excluding VAT. Interested installers can apply by emailing access-uk@viessmann.com.

Chris Johnson, Director of Sales at Viessmann Climate Solutions UK, said: “Viessmann is taking a very serious market approach this heating season with this targeted package of sales incentives and warranty extensions. For many consumers, this is the autumn and winter in which they will seriously consider heat pumps as boiler replacements for the first time. It’s a great opportunity for our industry.”
