Today, Vaillant operates in over 20 countries worldwide and employs more than 15,000 people. In the UK market, Vaillant has established itself as a premium boiler brand preferred by homeowners who value quality, reliability, and longevity. The company invests heavily in research and development, consistently introducing innovative features that improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and enhance user comfort.

When you choose a Vaillant boiler, you're investing in a brand with a proven track record of excellence spanning nearly 150 years. This heritage of quality engineering translates into boilers that are built to last, perform reliably, and deliver exceptional efficiency year after year.

Energy Efficiency Ratings and Performance

Vaillant boilers are among the most energy-efficient on the market, with all current models achieving A-rated efficiency of up to 94%. This exceptional efficiency translates directly into lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions, making Vaillant an excellent choice for environmentally conscious homeowners and those looking to minimize running costs.

Vaillant Efficiency Technology:

Vaillant achieves industry-leading efficiency through several innovative technologies. The advanced condensing technology recovers heat from flue gases that would otherwise be wasted, extracting maximum energy from every cubic meter of gas. The modulating burner adjusts flame size precisely to match heating demand, eliminating energy waste from overshooting temperature targets. The high-efficiency aluminium heat exchangers maximize heat transfer with minimal gas consumption.

Real-World Savings:

The efficiency of a Vaillant boiler delivers substantial savings compared to older boilers. If you're replacing a G-rated boiler (less than 70% efficient) with a new A-rated Vaillant, you could save £300-£400 per year on gas bills in a typical 3-bedroom home. That's £3,000-£4,000 over ten years—potentially more than the cost of the boiler itself.

• ErP A-Rating: All Vaillant combi boilers meet the highest EU Energy-Related Products efficiency standards
• SEDBUK 94%: Seasonal Efficiency of Domestic Boilers in UK rating of up to 94%
• Low NOx Emissions: Class 6 NOx classification for reduced environmental impact
• Weather Compensation Ready: Compatible with weather compensation sensors for optimized efficiency
• Smart Control Compatible: Works with vSMART and other smart thermostats to maximize efficiency through intelligent scheduling

With rising energy costs, the efficiency of your boiler has never been more important. A Vaillant boiler not only saves you money but also reduces your home's carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Vaillant Warranties and Protection

One of the most compelling reasons to choose a Vaillant boiler is the exceptional warranty coverage available. As Vaillant Advance installers, Hixa Heating can offer you warranty coverage of up to 12 years on selected models—among the longest warranties available in the heating industry. This extended protection demonstrates Vaillant's confidence in their product quality and provides you with unparalleled peace of mind.

Vaillant Advance Warranty:

The Vaillant Advance program offers enhanced warranty coverage when your boiler is installed by an accredited installer like Hixa Heating. Here's what you get:

• ecoTEC Plus Range: 7-10 year parts and labour warranty (standard installation gives only 2 years)
• ecoTEC Exclusive Range: Up to 12 year parts and labour warranty on Green iQ models
• ecoFIT Sustain System Boilers: 7-10 year parts and labour warranty
• Parts AND Labour Included: Unlike some warranties that only cover parts, Vaillant Advance covers both
• No Annual Fee: Warranty coverage is included in your installation price with no ongoing costs

Warranty Activation Requirements:

To qualify for the extended Vaillant Advance warranty, certain requirements must be met during installation. These include installation by a Vaillant Advance accredited installer (like Hixa Heating), fitting of a magnetic filter as standard (included in our installations), full system cleanse with inhibitor treatment, correct sizing and commissioning of the boiler, and registration with Vaillant within 30 days of installation (we handle this for you).

These requirements aren't just bureaucratic red tape—they're best practices that protect your boiler investment and ensure optimal performance. The magnetic filter captures metal particles that could damage components, the system cleanse removes existing sludge and debris, and proper commissioning ensures the boiler operates at peak efficiency.

Important: To maintain your warranty, Vaillant requires annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We offer annual service packages from £80 to keep your warranty valid and your boiler running efficiently.

4. Documentation and Warranty: Before we leave, we provide you with your Vaillant user manual and installer commissioning checklist, Gas Safe certificate and Building Regulations compliance certificate, full demonstration of boiler operation and controls, manufacturer warranty registration confirmation (emailed directly from Vaillant), and our contact details for ongoing support.
