Vaillant Green iQ

The Vaillant Green iQ ; What is all the fuss about?

Before the Vaillant Green iQ, Vaillant boilers have been around for more than 140 years and in this time they have developed some ground breaking technology that has revolutionised the heating and hot water industry. They have also dominated the market in the UK by offering installers and homeowner’s a like really good product with reliability, ease of use and installation. The Vaillant brand has become synonymous with quality and peace of mind. No one likes a boiler to go wrong and not being able to get heating or hot water and Vaillant have pretty much set the benchmark for competitors to try and beat. The German engineering and attitude to customer service and professionalism has set standards in a once un-regulated market that have changed our perception of boilers in the UK.  The UK market for gas boilers has matured over the years and benefitted from a much more regulated installation framework that has professionalised the plumbers into heating engineers. Vaillant has also played a role in this and the loyalty scheme offered to installers by Vaillant has meant brand allegiance and a fully trained up network of Vaillant Advance installers. These selected installers can diagnose, fix and install the boilers so creating complete peace of mind for the homeowner. The Green iQ has entered the UK market at completely the right time as it offers innovative technology to enable all the smart controls that are now on the market like the Nest Learning thermostat. Vaillant also offer their own range of controls that are easily controlled through their purpose built apps and work intelligently adapting the boilers output to be consistent and moreover efficient. There is also the function for remote access to the boiler by Vaillant allowing them to diagnose problems and check on the appliance to see how it is performing. The models are also built to a much higher standard than conventional condensing gas appliances as the materials used are all pretty much recyclable and exhaustively tested to extend the life of the boiler. The Vaillant Green iQ is definitely more expensive but if you are looking for a boiler that is just above all head and shoulders above the rest then this is the one for you. There are only a few models available at the moment which is typically German as it proves that it is not easy to produce boilers of this quality on a mass scale.
