The renovation of our two-family old building is imminent, and among other things, we will also renew the old drain pipes and zinc pipes of the water lines. Currently, a total of 3 instantaneous water heaters are installed, so the hot water preparation is electric. However, I am now considering connecting the hot water preparation in the basement to the existing oil central heating (built in 2000), including corresponding new piping and a large water storage tank/boiler next to the heating boiler.
The question is: is the Viessmann heating system "strong" enough to handle the hot water preparation in addition to the heating circuit? Will significantly more kW be required for this? Has anyone here done this before?
If the conversion remains reasonable, I would prefer this hot water preparation over the instantaneous water heaters, especially because the 3 instantaneous water heaters would also need to be replaced (to the current standard) and would not be cheap.
What do you think? The boiler is a Viessmann Vitola 100; the kW value is currently unknown.
Thanks for tips!
