Now is the best time to replace your heating system.
Why?
Modern heating technology makes an important contribution to climate protection. Outdated heating systems increasingly pollute the environment whereas new heating systems are now highly efficient.
There is an awareness that we should be thinking about switching to electric cars… but, what most people do not realise, is that heating and hot water for UK buildings make up 40% of our energy consumption and one fifth of our greenhouse gas emissions. Plus, the Committee on Climate Change show that heating and generating hot water for our homes will be the biggest contributor to carbon emissions for households by 2030.*
However, modern heating can be future-proof. It has become particularly clear over the last few months how important a comfortable home is, and a functioning heating system with a reliable hot water supply plays a major role in this.
Government incentives are also now available for switching to some heating systems and these grants do not need to be repaid.

More Information: Heat pumps
Heat Pumps are particularly climate-friendly because they get around 2/3 of their energy from the environment. This is the most climate-friendly way of heating. This is also the reason why heat pumps receive government funding.
Heat pumps are future-proof because the environmental heat will always be available. Plus, heat pumps are not only suitable for new buildings, but are also ideal for renovations - like our new aroTHERM plus.

The average UK household spends £646 per year on their gas bills based on 15,000 kWh consumption.[1]
- The average semi-detached house in the UK saves £205 on their heating bills when they replace a ErP G rated boiler with an A rated one.[2]
- Switching to a new Vaillant ecoTEC boiler operating at a maximum of 94% efficiency could reduce your energy use by 30%.[3]
- This is calculated as average saving (£205) ÷ average yearly spend (£646) = 30% reduction.
Our ecoTEC exclusive is the best in the business. It has our unique Green iQ mark which means it gives you the ultimate in energy efficiency, the lowest fuel consumption and lowest running costs.
