Gas Condensing Storage Combi Boiler Vitodens 242-F
Vitodens 242-F: modern heating with condensing and solar technology for detached houses
This heating system features high energy efficiency, a cylinder loading system, built-in solar components, and minimal space requirements.
For modern heating with condensing and solar technology in detached homes, Vitodens 242-F is an extremely energy-efficient, environmentally responsible and advanced heating system. Occupying only 0.4 sq. m, this storage combination boiler occupies a relatively small area, so it can fit in any niche. The high convenience of the hot water supply is guaranteed by a dual-mode charging cylinder with a capacity of 170 liters and a solar indirect heat exchanger.
Protecting the Future with Solar Energy Integration
The Vitodens 242-F is fully factory-prepared for integration with Vitosol solar collectors (or an existing system), both now and in the future. A control module for regulating the solar thermal system is already integrated, and solar energy output is displayed graphically on the device. All functions are coordinated and factory-tested. This device can save over 50 percent of the energy required for domestic hot water heating by utilizing free solar thermal energy. Learn more about climate-neutral heating with hydrogen .
Efficiency up to 98 percent
Up to 98 percent of the energy consumed is converted into heat. This reduces heating bills and protects the environment.

Save and smooth
High level of efficiency for any gas mixture
Economy and smoothness: high level of efficiency with any gas mixture
AHI-Carrier’s state-of-the-art gas condensing boilers are equipped with the patented Lambda Pro Plus® combustion control system. It adapts your instrument to changing operating conditions, such as fluctuations in gas quality or different types of gas. Automatic monitoring ensures a consistently high level of efficiency for your system. Your contractor will not have to reconfigure these boilers, and flue gas inspection intervals have been extended to three years. This saves time and money.
Equipment for the future
The technology that allows the use of mixtures of natural gas and hydrogen for heating buildings is already available and is available on the market in many thousands of cases. In principle, the latest generation of gas condensing boilers Vitodens 200 can already operate on a mixture containing 20 percent hydrogen. Therefore, house and apartment owners who choose these modern wall-mounted and compact appliances are ideally prepared for the future.
