ecoTEC Exclusive Green iQ System Technology and Main Advantages
The ecoTEC Exclusive System is the first of Valliant’s boilers to feature Green iQ technology to make the appliance green, intelligent and networked. This basically means that the boiler guarantees a high degree of recyclability, optimal efficiency levels and the lowest running costs.
It features a wide modulation range of up to 1:10, meaning the boiler can adapt to every situation and reduce its output to deliver the precise level of heat so it never wastes energy. The ecoTEC Exclusive System also has an extra-condense heat exchanger to maximise efficiency levels and reduce your fuel bills even more.
Other noteworthy features include an integrated diverter valve to improve comfort and ease of installation, a clear digital display for simple boiler management and family-friendly concealed user controls. We should mention that the boiler also has the seal of approval from Quiet Mark, making it a great, quiet choice if you plan to keep it in or near a busy room.
Is the Vaillant ecoTEC Exclusive Green iQ System the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
Since the boiler has an output of 27kW, it is best suited to medium and large properties in need of a constant supply of hot water to multiple taps or showers at the same time. So if heating and hot water demand are greater in your home, this could be the boiler for you. Just remember, this boiler does require a hot water cylinder but does not need a cold water tank in the loft. To be on the safe side, we suggest you always ask a Gas Safe engineer to help you determine whether this boiler will satisfy the needs of your household.

Our Honest Opinion of the Vaillant ecoTEC Exclusive Green iQ System
We can see why this boiler is called ‘Exclusive’ because that’s precisely what it is, especially since it is one of only two Vaillant models that carry the Green iQ mark. To achieve this status, the boiler must display a proven build quality and incorporate smart connectivity solutions, along with everything else we mentioned above.
The ecoTEC Exclusive Green iQ System is smart in other ways too, such as the way it provides only the required level of heat and the fact that it’s compatible with optional energy-saving controls. It can even keep gas consumption low, reduce your bills and be recycled at the end of its life.
It’s also good to see that Vaillant is giving away a free warranty upgrade when the boiler is fitted by an Advance installer to give consumers confidence in the quality of this system. A 10-year warranty is available as well but it isn’t free so you will need to pay extra for this. And whilst it isn’t the cheapest system boiler on the market, we do think you get a lot for your money with this offering by Vaillant.
