Frequently asked questions
- How exactly do I choose the output of a PROTHERM condensing boiler? The starting point is the calculated heat loss of the building being heated (most reliably taken from the project documentation or an energy certificate). If you don't have a project, you can roughly estimate 60-100 W per m² of floor area for a normally insulated house built after 2000, or 100-150 W/m² for an older, uninsulated house - the exact figure varies depending on the number of floors, ceiling height, the number and quality of windows, and the building's orientation. An oversized boiler switches on and off more often (so-called cycling), which shortens its lifespan and reduces efficiency; an undersized boiler, on the other hand, cannot heat the house sufficiently on frosty days.
- Why is a condensing boiler more economical than a conventional one? A condensing boiler also makes use of the heat hidden in the water vapour produced when gas is burned - in a conventional boiler this vapour escapes unused through the flue, while in a condensing boiler it is cooled below the so-called dew point, the vapour condenses, and the released heat is returned to the heating circuit. Thanks to this, condensing boilers achieve an efficiency of roughly 105-110% relative to the calorific value of the gas, compared to the usual 85-92% for conventional boilers.
- What type of flue gas exhaust does this boiler need? Most modern condensing boilers are so-called turbo boilers (with a sealed combustion chamber) and require a concentric (coaxial) or separate flue gas exhaust and combustion air intake routed through an external wall or the roof - so a functional chimney is not required. You will find the exact type and maximum length of the flue (based on a diameter of 60/100 or 80/125 mm) in the technical documentation for the specific model, or you can consult our customer service.
- What does the ErP energy class shown for the boiler mean? This is the mandatory efficiency label for heating appliances under the EU ErP (Ecodesign) directive, similar to the energy labels on refrigerators. Condensing boilers commonly achieve class A, or even higher in combination with room controls (e.g. A+ when using weather-compensated control and a room thermostat).
- Can I install and connect this boiler myself? No. Connecting to the natural gas supply, the electrical network and the flue gas exhaust must, by law, be carried out exclusively by a person with the relevant qualification (most often an authorised service technician of the given brand or a gas appliance inspection technician). After installation, the boiler must be commissioned by the manufacturer's authorised service, which is usually also a condition for the warranty to be valid.
- What about servicing and the warranty? Most manufacturers require a regular annual service inspection by an authorised service provider so that the warranty remains valid even after its standard expiry (an extended warranty subject to regular servicing is common especially for the Vaillant, Protherm and Viessmann brands). You will find the exact warranty terms in the warranty certificate supplied with the boiler.
- What is included in the delivery of this specific product? The exact contents of the package (the boiler itself, possibly a hot water tank, room controls and other accessories in the case of a set) are stated in the product name and in its technical parameters above on this page.

About the company
The company Protherm Production is part of the Vaillant Group and is a manufacturer of heating technology for many countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. For the Slovak market, it produces boilers of the Vaillant and Protherm brands. Protherm Production is not only a production plant. It also includes one of the most modern research and development centres, a testing centre and a distribution and logistics centre for Central and Eastern Europe.
The company's beginnings date back to 1991, when it operated as a seller of heating technology in Prague. Production in Skalica was initially launched in the company Didaktik, from where it was moved to the premises of the current plant in 1999. Since 2001, it has been part of the German Vaillant Group.
Three Slovak entities: The Vaillant Group employs more than 1,800 people in Slovakia. In addition to the plant in Skalica, it also owns the company Vaillant Industrial Slovakia in Trenčianske Stankovce, which produces hydraulic modules and pipes. The sales organisation for the Slovak market is the company Vaillant Group Slovakia, which also ensures further customer care and servicing of the products offered.
The Vaillant Group has a history of over 140 years and more than 2,000 patents. It is a leader and pioneer in the field of heating technologies in Europe. It has 10 production plants worldwide (eight in Europe, one in Turkey and one in China) and more than 12,000 employees. It produces equipment under the brands Vaillant, Protherm, Saunier Duval, Bulex, AWB, DemirDöküm, Glow-Worm and Hermann.

Production
Protherm Production produces a wide range of boilers and hot water heating equipment. These include suspended and stationary, condensing and non-condensing boilers, electric boilers, electric water heaters for hot water preparation and indoor units of heat pumps. Products of the following brands are produced at the plant in Skalica:
The most modern electronic work processes are used in Protherm Production, which makes it relatively easy to assemble heating equipment on the production lines. The work process on LCD screens guides employees through the entire assembly process, in both text and visual form. This intelligent electronic system makes production easier and helps avoid errors. In the case of incorrect use of components, it alerts us and stops the assembly of the product on the line.
The production halls of the plant in Skalica are bright, clean and quiet spaces. The goal of Protherm Production is to become a green production facility, so it invests significant financial resources into ecological solutions, innovations and focuses on energy saving.
Research and development centre
One of the most modern research and development centres in Europe is part of Protherm Production. The company can boast of a top-class research and development centre with powerful workstations, a modern laboratory and high-quality equipment. Members of the development team primarily contribute to innovations in current boilers and the introduction of new, more powerful modules. Ideas for new, more efficient products are born here, the design is optimised to improve quality while maintaining or reducing the price, taking into account new technologies and their implementation. In addition, existing boilers are further refined within the entire Vaillant group.
The main tasks of the research and development centre of the Protherm Production plant are the development of hydraulic modules for boilers, gas condensing and non-condensing boilers and electric boilers. We also find here the team of sustainable engineering (Sustaining Engineering) and the team of project and product management. The final form of the product is created thanks to the close cooperation of the development staff of the Protherm Production company with the developers from other companies in the group.
Recently, new departments have also been created within the research and development centre. One of them is the Intellectual Property Department, whose task is to register new patents. We have also expanded the group of simulation engineers, who are experts in CAE simulations.
The research and development centre currently has 63 employees. It also includes an expanded prototype workshop and a modern testing centre. What our developers design is assembled in the prototype workshop, tested in the laboratory and finally introduced into mass production.
