In Grimbergen, we installed a reliable, well-balanced setup: a Buderus GB172i gas condensing boiler for the heating and an Atlantic Explorer 240 L thermodynamic water heater for the hot water. Proof that a smart, efficient installation doesn't have to be the most expensive one.
The right boiler for the job
The GB172i is Buderus's accessible wall-boiler — compact, dependable and condensing, it recovers the heat from its flue gases to keep efficiency high. For a home that doesn't need a large output, it's the sensible choice. Pairing it with a thermodynamic water heater then produces the hot water cheaply: it captures the free heat in the ambient air instead of burning gas to heat the water.
The benefits
- ✅ A reliable, accessible boiler: the compact GB172i is built for everyday dependability.
- ✅ Condensing efficiency: heat recovered from the flue gases for a high year-round output.
- ✅ Hot water from the air: the Atlantic Explorer uses up to 3× less energy than an electric boiler.
- ✅ Subsidy up to €1,200 for the thermodynamic water heater in Flanders.
- ✅ Great value: a smart, efficient setup without overspending.
Subsidies: up to €1,200
In Flanders, the thermodynamic water heater qualifies for a subsidy of up to €1,200, depending on your region and income. Combined with the energy savings, the investment quickly pays off.
