Possible Causes
Incorrect gas rate or nozzle size, Dirty burner or heat exchanger, Weather-compensated curve set too low on Vitotronic, Oversized system with poor control settings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Gas rate and combustion adjustments must be done by qualified personnel.
- Check controls: Verify that the room thermostat and any Viessmann Vitotrol units are set correctly and not in setback mode.
- Weather compensation: On systems with outdoor sensors, check the heating curve setting on the Vitotronic control. Increase the curve slightly if rooms are consistently cool.
- Bleed and balance: Bleed radiators and ensure all key rooms have adequate flow.
- Professional combustion check: A technician should verify gas rate, clean the burner and heat exchanger, and adjust combustion to Viessmann specifications.
