Viessmann Climate Solutions and City Plumbing have entered into a new partnership agreement that will see the merchant’s central (Omega) distribution network supply Vitodens 200-W light commercial boilers and cascade components, as well as Vitocal 150-A/151-A air source heat pumps, for residential buildings.
City Plumbing stocks the widest range of Viessmann gas condensing boilers and heat pumps in the UK.
Vitocal 150-A/151-A
Viessmann is a highly experienced heat pump manufacturer. Having produced its first heat pump in 1979, the company has been innovating in the heat pump sector ever since.
Its latest air source heat pump range, the Vitocal 150-A/151-A, is designed to address many of the barriers to air source heat pump adoption in both the modernization and new build markets.
maximum flow temperature
They offer exceptionally environmentally friendly refrigeration and quiet operation in compact hydrosplit units that are very quick and simple to install.
Both the wall-mounted Vitocal 150-A and the floor-standing Vitocal 151-A, with integrated 190-litre DHW cylinder, have a high maximum flow temperature of 70 °C (at an outside temperature down to -10 °C) for high hot water comfort.

Locating the defrost buffer inside the IDU also ensures that the heat pump never fails to start
The buffer tank, expansion vessel, and overflow valve – components that must usually be fitted and connected separately are integrated into the indoor unit (IDU), reducing installation time by 90 minutes and resulting in an in-the-home space saving of 60% compared to other heat pumps.
Locating the defrost buffer inside the IDU also ensures that the heat pump never fails to start, regardless of system temperature, and in colder weather provides a unique improvement to efficiency compared to other brands as no heat is taken from the heating system for the defrost cycle.
next-day delivery
Ian Brookes, Head of Sales - Merchants for Viessmann Climate Solutions UK, said, "This increase in stock holding of Viessmann heat pumps and light commercial boilers means City Plumbing’s customers can benefit from next-day delivery on not only Vitodens residential boilers, as they have been used to for many years, but also light commercial boilers for larger homes or small businesses, and residential heat pumps and appropriate cylinders."
He adds, "We can offer our customers an increased level of stock-holding, with more reliable supply and faster delivery of products and spares."
renewable technologies
"Our core focus is making our customers’ lives easier – whether that’s supporting them with the products they need, when they need them, or aiding the transition to renewable technologies. Our strengthened relationship with Viessmann aligns with this focus entirely," said Adam Foy, Chief Commercial Officer at City Plumbing.
He adds, "We’ve built our logistics to have over 20,000 boiler spares available for customers to order as late as 7.30 pm for next-day delivery and we’re pleased to add Viessman products to that offer."
