Both of these are large boilers so you do need room for them the
Hi Mark

Modulation rates are an important consideration for smaller residences because as with your place which perhaps has three possibly four rooms it probably only needs between 4 and 8 kw to heat which is why originally wanting to install such a large rated boiler wasn't appropriate. An oversized boiler unable to modulate low enough will short cycle repeatedly by cutting on and off, unable to condense, run poorly and inefficiently shortening it's working life etc.

Bare this in mind, every heating engineer has their particular favorite but I think 200-W takes some beating for a number of reasons even though it is costlier than most. If however you intend to install any other large rated boiler besides the 200-W you should probably try and do some heat loss calculations for your flat so you know what the boilers minimum heating output should be.

The 200-W doesn't have a thermostatic shower mode as such but you'll be able to change the HW output temperature easily enough, your commissioning engineer will set or change your parameters as necessary. I think we were all trying to mention boilers with high HW output rates but the 111W is a storage combi like the 938 so would really suit a larger place with more than one bathroom and it doesn't modulate down as well (6:1) compared to the the 200-W (17:1). If you can afford it I wouldn't hesitate, with properly utilised weather comp it's one of the most if not the most efficient boilers out there and that will also be reflected in your running costs.
if we are talking modulation I would recommend weather compensation with the 200 I had a 200 in my last house as wanted weather comp also good flow rate the house was a small 2 bedroom cottage, with weather comp my house was comfortable and my bill decreased a lot from the old Worcester that was in when I moved

Thanks both, guess I am getting the 200-W the existing boiler sits a separate air cupboard type room so I will have the space, just need to find an installer / heating engineer now

Quick question on the weather compensator, how does compare to the Tado I have on my existing boiler

Get an approved Viessmann installer so can opt for the maximum warranty.

Tado isn't compatible with the latest 200-w as far as I know and weather comp using real time temperature data is a far better system than geofencing, the Viessmann app should give you as much control as you need so I'd stick with it.

Maybe it is compatible, as GM1 here says pointless turning it on and off rather let the weather comp do it all for you.

There's actually a 200-w video lecture on tomorrow by the Viessmann training academy. For installers really but anyone can watch it, you may have to register with the training academy.

Ask here
