or

2) Stop using gas boiler completelly and use electric boiler only for hot water ?

Hot water preparation via the gas boiler is above all cheaper.

Hello,

normally it's cheaper to produce hot water with gas, electricity is too expensive.

Work in the summer will not damage your vitodens. When your vitodens is off in summer, the pumps my be not working in the winter.

Hello karel_cz,

number two is the better choice.

Wie kommst du denn da drauf?

Es ist teurer, Pumpen und Umschaltventil können über den Sommer festsitzen.

I've noticed last summer that in stand-bye mode my Vitodens 222-F auto switches the valve at around the same time each morning (9AM)...Not sure if it also auto operates the circulation pump...

Hello karel_cz,

I've to excuse me. A lot of work in the same time and the wrong answer was born. The arguments of my previous speakers are right.

It's cheaper to produce the hot water with your gas boiler because some hydraulic components can be damaged by the standstill in summer.

Oh, yes, that's correct. If you dont't shut it down completely, there's an function to provide the valves und pumps from clinging. (I hope this word ist correct) 😉
