We are now about to purchase a new residential boiler for our home which has a cobination of in floor slab heating and a air module for our upper two floors.
Our choices at this point are the VFC 15-150 by IBC TECHNOLOGIES or the VITODENS 200 by VIESSMANN.
I would love any input or feedback or any other great ideas on which direction to go. My only requirement is any thing better than a COMPLETEHEAT SYSTEM....and nothing else from LENNOX.

Pricey, but you can't go wrong with Viessmann.

Triangle Tube's Prestige is a nice lower priced wall hung.

Vitoden 200 is a wall hung condensing gas boiler with a stainless steel HX.

Sure a rolls royce can be used as basic transportation, but not everyone can afford that option. Plenty of other great
boilers out there. If you're gonna be running fan coils at higher temps, you're not gonna get 95% efficency running at high boiler water temps. SO why pay top dollar for a Viessmann, when you can't run it at max efficency to justify the cost?

The prestige is a nice package and comes in max 110, 175 and a 240K BTU models, with modulation down to 30K.
