Viessmann Vitodens 100 Boiler

Posted by acumen // Seasonal //

Innovative, Versatile and Budget-Friendly: The New Vitodens 100 Condensing Boiler from Viessmann

With the new Vitodens 100 condensing boiler, Viessmann has added a unique Comfort Saver Series option to its line of premium condensing boilers. Contractors can now offer great energy savings, Viessmann quality and reliability to both their budget-conscious and discriminating customers.

At the heart of the Vitodens 100 is the same proven Inox-Radial heat exchanger design as on the Premium Series Vitodens 200 boilers. Designed and built by Viessmann of SA240 316 Ti stainless steel to ASME Section IV and CSA B51, it provides consistently high condensing performance and unparalleled reliability over the entire lifetime of the boiler - as well as peace-of-mind for the homeowner.

With an AFUE of 95.1% the Vitodens 100 is the most efficient boiler in its price range. It is ENERGY STAR qualified and, together with the Vitodens 200, the only wall-mounted condensing boiler certified by the Government of Canada's Environmental Choice Program to be less harmful to the environment.

The Vitodens 100 uses a full-modulation natural gas stainless steel cylinder burner to achieve reliable, whisper-quiet and low-emission combustion. All Vitodens 100 burners come factory-calibrated to save time during installation. The boiler is equipped with a built-in boiler control for room thermostat operation via TT connection. The clean and simple control interface includes a reset button, digital LCD display and adjustable high limit. For DHW control, outdoor reset operation and more, the boiler control is able to interface with any level of external control.

Hydrocarbon Refrigerant DIY Kits for Air Conditioning Systems

Posted by acumen // Seasonal //

Anyone who has ever forgotten to lift the lid before lighting their propane barbecue knows how volatile, and highly flammable propane can be. Would you then risk using such a potentially hazardous product in your air conditioning system?

This is exactly what mass marketers and retailers are suggesting that home and building owners do by promoting a hydrocarbon refrigerant "Do-It-Yourself (DIY)" kit as a replacement refrigerant gas for residential or commercial air conditioning systems. Unlike the non-flammable refrigerants used by a qualified air conditioning technician, hydrocarbon refrigerants are made up of a mixture of propane and isobutene and are extremely flammable similar to the gas in a barbecue tank.

Customer Comments

Our old system was worn out, tired, noisy and grossly inefficient. Now thanks to Chris and Acumen our newly installed HVAC system maintains the home at a very comfortable temperature on these hot, humid days. Great advice and very professional in all aspects of the quote and installation.

Chris & Janet - St.Catharines

Another job done beyond my expectations! I had Chris install an A/C unit at my first house and hired him a second time to install a new A/C and furnace at my new house. Once again professional, punctual and a strong work ethic. Now the house is comfortable for my newborn, we will save money with our new upgraded systems, and I have peace of mind knowing everything was installed properly. What more can you ask for?

Cheri - St. Catharines You guys really are the best!=

I would just like to thank you for all your excellent work. My new air conditioner and furnace look and work great. With your knowledge and professionalism it was easy to choose the right units for my house. Acumen Mechanical is the only Air and Furnace service I would recommend to others.

Thanks Mike- Welland

Fast, efficient and clean. Very knowledgable.

Cyndie- Crystal Beach

The A/C looks and feels great! Thank
you once again for your expertise and hard work.

Cheri- Welland

I just wanted to thank-you for the excellent service and work. Peggy and I very
much appreciate your efforts. We would recommend you to anyone. Again thank -you.

Doug- Welland

Well, I guess we'll just call you a miracle worker cause there has been no smell all day. It's now just after 6pm. I went over late this a.m. and opened the basement windows a crack (maybe an inch) and turned on the fan.... when I checked around 2:30 there was no smell.... Mum put on the a/c around 4pm and still no smell, so I don't know what happened, but I can't thank you enough for that suggestion.

You have no idea how much this will change my Mum's life... it's been so stressful for her.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Forever grateful,

Bev- Fort Erie

We are already enjoying some warmth from our new furnace on this chilly day :-)Thanks again for all your hard work.

Wendy- Niagara Falls

Thank you for your excellent work, service, and professionalism. I will be sure to recommend you to others.
