Intelligent Heatingfor Your Home

™

Conventional Heating Systems Leave Your Home Too Hot or Too ColdConventional residential heating systems lack thesubtlety and sophistication to keep your home at adesired temperature. They function at only themost basic level—ON or OFF.Conventional heating systems turn on only whenhouse temperatures drop (as much as 7˚) belowthe thermostat setting, and the house becomesuncomfortably cool.When the boiler starts, it heats and circulates waterat only one temperature — typically 170˚ to 180˚ Fand keeps heating and circulating this high-temperature water until the thermostat signals it tostop. After the boiler shuts down, the temperaturein the house continues to rise — often well abovedesired levels — until the water in the pipes cools.This wastes expensive heating fuel and makes thehouse uncomfortably warm.

Intelligent Heating Produces More Comfortable Room Temperatures

Conventional boilers leave room temperatures too hot or toocold—often varying up to ±7˚ from the thermostat setting.Buderus low-temperature boilers provide more consistentheat, eliminating these wide temperature swings.

Buderus Boiler

The difference between the constant high operating temperatureof conventional boilers (typically 180˚F) and the optimized watertemperatures of a Buderus boiler means significant fuel savings.

Lower Boiler Operating Temperatures Save Heating Fuel

Buderus Intelligent Heating Systems™Minimize Temperature CyclingWhether you heat by baseboard, panel radiators,hydro-air systems or radiant flooring, BuderusIntelligent Heating Systems™ maintain a constanttemperature in your home, eliminating the widetemperature swings of conventional heating systems.The Buderus Logamatic Control uses advancedmicroprocessor technology to monitor inputs fromindoor and outdoor sensors, compensate for theweather, and ensure consistent room temperatures.Unlike conventional systems, the Logamatic controladjusts water temperatures to maintain a desiredcomfort level, eliminating chills and overheating.

Improved Comfort and Fuel EconomyWith the ability to “look ahead” and optimize watertemperatures, Buderus heating systems providemore consistent, more comfortable heat using far lessfuel than conventional high-temperature systems.In fact, Buderus heating systems typically pay forthemselves in fuel savings in less than 5 years.

The Ideal Boiler — Replacement or New C

Start with a Buderus BoilerYour serviceman just told you you’re going to need toreplace your boiler. But, your hot water heater is only2 to 3 years old. No problem. Buderus boilers are ideal replacements for virtuallyany make or model oil, natural gas, or propaneboiler. They can deliver heat through standing castiron radiators, fin-tube baseboard, hydro warm air,or Buderus panel radiators. With standard fittingsand connections, they are quickly and easilyinstalled and are compatible with most hot waterstorage tanks and all conventional water heaters.

Build a System Gradually…Once you have a Buderus boiler, you can add anindirect-fired hot water heater, an optional Logamaticcontrol, or both. The Logamatic control will not onlymaximize your comfort and fuel savings, it willaccommodate specialized heating applicationssuch as radiant floor heat and snow/ice melting.Before long, you’ll have a premium heating systemthat will provide years of exceptional comfort andeconomy…for little more than the cost of standardreplacement components.

Construction

Or All at OnceIf you’re building a new home, you can install aBuderus heating system for slightly more than thecost of most contractor-grade systems. Not only willit pay for itself in a few years, a Buderus system willoutlast and outperform virtually any other residentialhot water heating system! And, should you decideto sell your home, a Buderus heating system willadd to your home’s attractiveness and value.

Tailor a System to Your Home and Lifestyle

Exceptional Efficiency and EconomyBuderus heating systems are designed in Europe,where fuel costs are considerably higher than in theUnited States and environmental regulations are morestringent. Their superior design and constructionmaximizes the heating value of every ounce offuel—whether in operation or on standby.

Buderus boilers:Are Energy Star-compliantAre constructed of superior quality materialsthat store heat energy and minimize inefficientsystem cyclingHave optimum chamber geometries for maximum heat transfer and efficiencyAre superinsulated for minimal standby lossesand feature energy-saving flue designs forminimal stack losses

Buderus hot water tanks:Are so well insulated that hot water stored inthem loses less than 1⁄4 ˚F per hourCan be equipped with optional recirculationfor instantly available, unlimited hot water

One Control for Both Heating and Hot WaterThe Logamatic microprocessor control managesboth home heating and domestic hot water. Inaddition to room temperature control, the Logamaticalso provides domestic hot water priority,adjustable and high limit aquastats, and a manualoverride for emergency operation of both spaceand hot water heating.Its microprocessor design allows the programmingof settings/setbacks for: day/night, automaticsummer/winter changeover, and vacation mode.Just program it once, and forget it. The Logamaticcontrol then:

Considers both inside and outside temperaturesfor maximum control and comfort Provides “intelligent” heating control, optimizingsystem water temperature and domestic hotwater production for maximum fuel efficiencyUses a “look-ahead” function to minimizeovershoot and wasted heating dollars

Wide Range of Heat Delivery OptionsBuderus heating systems can deliver heat in a varietyof ways, offering homeowners maximum designflexibility. They can easily feed conventional castiron radiators or fin-tube baseboard, modern radiantflooring or hydro-air systems, or any combination.
