Highly suitable for modernisation: Vitocal 252-A
The new generation of heat pumps
Reliable, compact and more environmentally responsible than ever – the new, innovative heat pump technology from Viessmann makes particularly efficient use of environmental energy for heating and cooling. With a flow temperature of up to 70 °C, the Vitocal 252-A was specially developed for modernisation projects. Existing radiators can continue to be used. Underfloor heating is not essential. High energy efficiency, convenient control via app, sustainable operation and attractive design are all convincing features.

Climate Protect+++ protects the environment and the climate
The new heat pumps in the Vitocal 25x series use the "green" refrigerant R290 (propane), which is considered particularly environmentally responsible with its very low GWP100 (global warming potential) of 0.02.
One system for everything: Viessmann One Base
The platform integrates any smart home solutions already in use, seamlessly and wirelessly. It can be easily expanded, for example with a Wallbox for charging an electric car. As members of the ViShare Energy Community, users can easily track their sustainable use of electricity and heat via Viessmann One Base. The operator and contractual partner in the ViShare Energy Community is Energy Market Solutions GmbH.
Viessmann One Base is compatible with all additional digital services. The integrated services and devices can be easily controlled with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The new platform is the basis for an expandable and futureproof energy system in every home.
Always in the best of hands
All that is needed to communicate with Viessmann One Base is the free ViCare app; the integrated Viessmann Energy Management System does the rest. Viessmann One Base is operated quickly and easily via the app. The contractor can also keep a remote eye on the system and correct possible irregularities immediately by electronic means. This eliminates unnecessary travel and appointments with the trade partner.
Viessmann One Base makes the home more comfortable, efficient and futureproof.
Comfort at the touch of a finger: simple and convenient control of the energy system from anywhere.
All Viessmann systems and smart home solutions on one platform
With Viessmann One Base, the entire energy system is operated via just one app –– simply, reliably and quickly. The new platform links all devices and electronic applications in the home into one single climate and energy solution. With beneficial consequences: lower energy consumption, a smaller carbon footprint and an overview of running costs that is always up to date. Viessmann One Base makes your own four walls fit for a climate friendly future!
OptiPerform –– reliable operation with maximum efficiency
The advanced heat pumps from Viessmann work with a patented hydraulic system. With Hydro AutoControl®, the heat pump is operated reliably and with maximum efficiency throughout its entire service life. The unique design not only ensures that your contractor can set up the heat pump with OptiPerform much faster and, therefore, more cost effectively. It also takes up much less space because it is up to 60 percent smaller than comparable systems.
Super silent –– whisper-quiet in full and partial load operation
Viessmann heat pumps are among the quietest of their kind thanks to advanced acoustic design+, and include a sound-optimised fan. Combined with intelligent speed control, it significantly reduces airborne noise in both full and partial load operation. As a result, the outdoor unit can be installed even in densely built-up areas such as terraced housing or close to the property boundary.
Keeping track with the ViCare app
With the energy cockpit in the ViCare app, users can keep track of all the energy flows in their home. The analysis tool shows current and past levels of self-sufficiency and self-consumption.
