Just How Good Are Vaillant Boilers?

If you are in the market for a new boiler because your old unit is not working how it used to, or has recently suffered from a bad breakdown, then a Vaillant boiler is definitely one of the top boiler choices. Vaillant are, not quite, but almost the most popular and renowned boiler manufacturers in this country at the moment behind Worcester Bosch, and even in mainland Europe too.

How are Vaillant boilers different from other similar manufacturers? Apart from a high efficiency rating and precision German engineering, the ecoTEC range is built in their RoSPA gold award-winning Derbyshire manufacturing plant. The ecoTEC selection is also awarded a Quiet Mark accreditation by the UK Noise Abatement Society recognising the lower noise impact of Vaillant’s heating equipment. Most conventional boilers love making a racket, but with combi boilers from Vaillant you never have to put up with any banging, humming or whooshing while going about your daily life at home.

Vaillant are also renowned for top class combination boilers, offering all the key aspects you would expect from high efficiency boilers and then some. When combi boilers were first introduced onto the scene they were only really capable of supplying smaller homes with not so high demand for hot water. Vaillant combi boilers however are now adapted for use in homes with multiple bathrooms making them ideal for family homes. They also come in a range of outputs and sizes meaning you can find one that's optimal for your needs.

If you want to shop from the entire choice of boilers, including system and open vent boilers, then you can get one for as little as £650, all the way up to £2400.

The cost will depend on the model of course and does not include installation. Luckily with Glow Green you get Gas Safe registered engineers and finance options to give you peace of mind anyway. Another advantage of buying a Vaillant boiler through Glow Green is that you can pay short monthly amounts anyways and, with up to 10 years warranty, you can essentially not have to worry about your boiler for a decade.

Disadvantages Of A Vaillant Boiler

Whilst all of Vaillant's combi boiler range are ErP A-rated for energy efficiency, it's worth looking at the finer details. Some of Vaillant's combi boilers, despite having that A rating, are at the bottom end of that spectrum racking up 89.3% efficiency. This is still impressive but when you compare that to some other big brand combi boilers, that can be up to 98%, it can make a big difference in the long run. Your boiler accounts for between 55-60% of the amount you spend on energy every single year, so this is something you may want to consider if your household has a high demand for hot water and heating.

Size can also be another slight disadvantage over competitors. If you're looking to go as small as possible to maximise space in your household, the Vaillant combi boiler is generally a tad bigger than other combi boilers by Worcester. It depends on where you intend to put your boiler more than anything.

Vaillant is also usually slightly more expensive than its competitors, however this isn't too much to worry about since you can pay in small monthly amounts and you are paying for quality and robust products so really they are good value boilers.

The EcoTec Range

Vaillant is a boiler brand steeped in history and traditions. The company was founded in 1874 in Germany and started making the world’s first gas-fired water boiler in 1894. Ever since that time they have been at the forefront of domestic heating development currently exploring renewable technologies such as ground source heat pumps and air to water systems alongside their traditional line of business.

The best-selling Vaillant ecoTec pro boiler range consists of 22 different types of gas boiler with outputs from 12kW to 38kW. Both boiler ranges are fitted with the highly rated Stainless Steel Giovanni Heat exchanger which is very reliable but more expensive than an aluminium and/or silicone based heat exchanger. Both also come with built in two-stage frost protection for even better reliability. And of course, they aren't just any ordinary heating system, they are Which? Best Buy 2020 heating products.
