Perfect for traditional open-vented heating systems, the Vaillant ecoTEC Plus Regular boasts compact dimensions which measure 600mm (H) 375mm (W) 340mm (D) so that it can be fitted in a kitchen cupboard.

It will need to be installed alongside a cold water storage tank and hot water cylinder to provide you with both heating and hot water, meaning this boiler is not ideal for particularly small properties.

The ecoTEC Plus Regular typically costs between £715.22 and £1,522.42 and is available in six different outputs including 12kW, 15kW, 18kW, 24kW, 30kW and 38kW. It comes with a 5-year warranty as standard, or a 7-year guarantee when you choose to have the boiler fitted by a Vaillant Advance installer.

ecoTEC Plus Regular Technology and Main Advantages

Vaillant’s ecoTEC Plus Regular boiler is an easy to use unit that features straightforward push-button programming to enable you to always stay in complete control of heating and hot water temperatures. In addition to this, the appliance has a large backlit text display so that you can read the current boiler operation and status, even in poor light conditions.

This appliance comes with removable side panels to allow your installer easy access during installation, maintenance and servicing, along with a push fit flue system for greater installation flexibility. A rear flue option is also available, meaning the boiler can be installed virtually anywhere in the home.

Built-in-two-stage frost protection is included to ensure the boiler performs at its best all year round, and there’s the 1:6 modulation ratio for higher efficiency and lower energy consumption.

Is the Vaillant ecoTEC Plus Regular the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?

Since the ecoTEC Plus Regular range is available in six outputs, this boiler is suitable for small, medium and large properties with a heating system that includes tanks and a cylinder. Obviously, for properties with a higher demand for heating and hot water, the higher boiler kW is needed. But if you have a smaller home and a lower demand, a lower output will be more suitable. However this is just a rough guide, and you must ask a Gas Safe engineer to assess your needs before you purchase this model. If you buy a boiler that’s too big for your home, the appliance will be less efficient and you’ll waste fuel and money.
