Geek Notes

The Viessmann Vitovalor is a genuine hydrogen fuel cell boiler that generates electricity as well as heat, and Heat Geek gets a first-hand account from an owner who lived with one. That owner ended up replacing it with a heat pump, which tells you where the economics landed in practice. If you're weighing hydrogen against a heat pump for your own home, this is a real result, not a lab figure.

We wouldn’t be heating geeks if we didn’t live and breathe it! Interested in hydrogen boilers? See and understand how the Viessmann Vitovalor hydrogen fuel cell boiler works.

2024 UPDATE: I ended up ripping this out in favour of a heat pump - check out the video below to see why...
