From the Silverdale blogWe are Vaillant Advance installers, so we fit and repair them every week. Here is our genuine take on whether they are worth it.
We get asked this a lot, and because we are Vaillant Advance accredited installers we fit and repair them week in, week out — so here is an honest answer rather than a sales pitch.
In short: yes, Vaillant boilers are among the best you can buy. They are German-engineered, quiet in operation, and in our experience reliable — we see far fewer breakdowns on Vaillant units than on many budget brands. The build quality is genuinely a step up.
The ecoTEC range is the one most homes end up with, and it is a sensible choice: efficient, well supported for spare parts, and backed by long manufacturer warranties when fitted by an accredited installer. As Vaillant Advance installers, we can register extended guarantees that you wouldn't get from a non-accredited fitter.
Are they perfect? No boiler is. Vaillant sits at the premium end, so it is not the cheapest box on the shelf — but you are paying for reliability and a longer life, which usually works out cheaper over the years than replacing a budget boiler sooner. And like any boiler, a Vaillant only stays reliable if it is serviced annually and the system is kept free of sludge.
If you are weighing up a new boiler, we fit both Vaillant and Worcester Bosch and we will give you a straight recommendation for your home — no pressure, and correctly sized so you are not paying for more boiler than you need. We cover West London; call us on 020 3355 0998 for a free survey.
In our experience as accredited installers, yes — Vaillant boilers are among the most reliable we fit, with noticeably fewer breakdowns than many budget brands. Like any boiler, they last longest with an annual service and a clean, sludge-free system.
Both are excellent premium brands and we install both. The right choice depends on your home, your budget and the setup; we will give you an honest recommendation and a correctly sized quote rather than pushing one brand.
Yes — when fitted by an accredited installer like us, Vaillant boilers come with long manufacturer guarantees, and we can register the extended warranty for you. The service history needs keeping up to keep the guarantee valid.
Gas leak, burst pipe or no heating? We're available around the clock.
