Waiting times for a new heating system can be long. Due to high demand caused by the revised “heating law” and limited installer capacities, property owners and housing companies often have to wait months for a new heating system. Replacing a heating system in the summer can ease the situation since space heating is not needed during this time. However, hot water is often linked to the heating system. When the old heating system is removed, the hot water supply often stops as well. A temporary hot water solution is therefore essential to ensure comfort and basic supply.
What Does Hot Water Have to Do with the Heating System?
In many buildings, hot water is generated via the heating system. The heating system warms the water, which is then stored in a hot water tank.
If the heating system fails or is being replaced, hot water is often unavailable. This is particularly problematic for households, multi-family buildings, or businesses that rely on a continuous hot water supply. In such cases, a temporary hot water solution using mobile devices is necessary.
Waiting for a New Heating System – Mobile Heater and Fresh Water Module as a Temporary Hot Water Solution
To bridge the waiting period for a new heating system, a mobile heating unit is an ideal solution. If necessary, it can be combined with a hot water generator, also known as a fresh water module, which functions as a plate heat exchanger. This module transfers the heat provided by the mobile heating unit to the fresh water. Together, these devices serve as a central hot water supply in case the existing system is out of service. The process works as follows:
- A mobile heating unit is placed outside the building and supplies the system with the necessary heat.
- The fresh water module is connected directly to the water network in the basement, ensuring hygienic hot water preparation.
The following graphic* illustrates this temporary hot water solution:
If only the heating system is being replaced while the water storage tank remains intact, the mobile heating unit can be directly connected to the existing tank, making the installation of a fresh water module unnecessary.
If the heating system replacement or failure occurs in autumn or winter, space heating is also essential. In this case, the mobile heating unit can provide both hot water and heating.
All these methods offer an efficient and flexible temporary solution suitable for both private households and businesses.

FAQ
When is a heating system replacement necessary?
A heating system replacement is always necessary if the old heating system is defective or too old. According to the currently revised Building Energy Act, fossil-fueled constant heating systems that are more than 30 years old must be replaced. However, in view of rising CO2 prices and the heat transition driven by subsidies, replacing a heating system and investing in an alternative heating method can be worthwhile regardless of a heating system defect.
