Is the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 415 boiler a combi, system or regular boiler?

Suitable for a house or a flat, the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 415 heat only boiler is worth considering if you want a heat only boiler.

Heat only boilers, also known as regular or conventional boilers, need enough space for a hot water cylinder with an immersion heater (usually found in a landing cupboard) and a cold-water tank (usually found in a loft). The hot water cylinder keeps water warm and the cold water tank stores water that it passes to the hot water cylinder when required or programmed to do so.

You control how your heat only boiler works by programming it to heat water and provide central heating at the times and on the dates you choose. But if you forget to set times and dates and your hot water cylinder is empty, you may have to wait up to an hour before you have hot water again in your home.

Heat only boilers are often the best choice for a larger family or a property with multiple bathrooms as, unlike with combi boilers, there is no drop in water pressure, temperature or volume when more than one person wants hot water.

Is a Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 415 heat only a suitable choice for my house or flat?

It's best to choose a boiler whose size or "output" is right for your property. With boilers, however, size does not mean how big a boiler is, it means how much power it has.

The output of a boiler is measured in kilowatts and tells you how much power it has available to heat the water it sends to your hot taps, showers and radiators. The greater the demand for hot water in your home, the larger the output you will need.

It is important to select a boiler with the optimal output rate. Choose one with too high an output and your gas bills will be too expensive. Choose one with too low an output and sometimes the water in your radiators and coming out of your taps will be barely lukewarm.

The output of the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 415 heat only is 15 kW kilowatts, so which types of property would this be most suitable for?

A PlumbProud Gas Safe engineer would recommend that the most suitable type of property for a Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 415 heat only would be smaller homes and apartments containing up to 10 radiators and providing hot water for one bathroom.

Is the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 415 a non-condensing or condensing boiler?

This Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 415 is a condensing gas boiler - we always recommend that clients choose the latest condensing models to benefit from the technology, which continues to improve year after year.

Condensing boilers capture the heat still present in flue exhaust gases and water vapour condensation, processing them through a secondary heat exchanger to, among other tasks, heat colder water returning from your radiators.

By selecting a modern condensing boiler, you'll save money on your gas bills as well as benefitting the wider environment.
