Which category of boiler does the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 fit into?

The Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 is a system boiler you may wish to consider if you want this type of boiler for your house or flat.

As with a heat only boiler, a system boiler requires the installation of a hot water cylinder but they do not need a cold water tank to work. This makes them suitable choices for homeowners planning a loft conversion or for properties without a loft or very limited attic space.

The primary heating and hot water system components are built in to system boilers and you can use the control panel to set the times that you wish your heating and hot water to be available. Hot water is stored in the cylinder for use throughout the day, but if you don't set your timer, heat and hot water will not be available instantly.

A system boiler can supply multiple taps and showers simultaneously and is suitable for both large families and properties with more than one bathroom - combi boilers struggle to do this.

Is the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 system boiler from the EcoFIT Pure range a suitable choice for my house or flat?

Selecting the right boiler for your home means choosing a boiler that is the right size. And, by size, we don't mean how big it is, we mean how powerful it is - the "output".

Your boiler’s output is a measurement of the power it has available to it to heat the water you need for your radiators or for when you turn on a tap, bath or shower. A higher output rate means it has more power and can heat more water.

It's important to choose an output that matches the demand for water in your home because if your boiler has too low an output, you'll often find only lukewarm water comes out of your taps or heats your radiators. If it’s too high, you’ll be paying more for your gas than you need to.

The Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 system has an output of 30 kW, so which types of property would this Vaillant ecoFIT Pure 630 System boiler be appropriate for?

A Gas Safe boiler installer would recommend that, at this level of output, the most suitable type of property for this Vaillant ecoFIT Pure 630 System boiler would be larger properties including detached homes with 15 or more radiators and two or more bathrooms.

What are the proportions of a Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 boiler?

The Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 is 700 mm tall, 390 mm wide, and 295 mm deep in size.

Is the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 a non-condensing or condensing boiler?

Condensing gas boilers like the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 are more energy-efficient and choosing one for your home will cut the amount you pay every year for your gas.

They do this by capturing the heat in water vapour condensation and in exhaust gases which would normally be expelled via the flue. They then recycle that heat, returning it to the system to, among other tasks, reheat colder water that is returning to your boiler from your radiators.

Is the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 system an energy-efficient boiler?

How we heat our homes and the damage we might be doing to the environment as a result has become an important point of concern to many homeowners worried about climate change.

The power we need for our central heating systems accounts for around 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gas production. There are often dangerous levels of ambient nitrogen dioxide gases in the atmospheres of British cities because of our use of gas boilers.

Let's take a closer look at whether installing a Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 system would be a good choice for the environment.

Boilers manufactured and installed in the UK are assigned energy efficiency ratings following testing to an agreed set of standards. These scores indicate how much energy the boiler uses and how much goes to waste when it's in operation.

By law, boilers must achieve a SEDBUK rating of "A" subject to achieving a minimum of 92% energy efficiency. Prior to April 2018, the minimum was 88% (88% and 89% on the SEDBUK are graded "B" and 90% and above is graded "A").

The Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 was awarded an efficiency rating of 94% with a SEDBUK band rating of "A".

The Energy Related Products (ERP) Directive's aim is to reduce the harmful gas emissions created during a product’s manufacture and active end use right through to its disposal.

The ERP rating for the Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 is "TBC".

What is the warranty period on a Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 system boiler?

The Vaillant EcoFIT Pure 630 boiler is covered by a parts and labour warranty of 2 years.
