Farewell, Internet Explorer.
energyPLUS is our new digital service that helps you get the most out of your Vaillant connected heat pump and your solar PV panels. By using local weather data, energyPLUS suggests the best times for you to use your home’s solar energy, rather than using energy from the grid. That means you could optomise your solar energy usage and may be able to lower your energy costs when it comes to powering your Vaillant connected heat pump.
Yes, energyPLUS can be used for your home's heating and hot water. If you're using energyPLUS for your heating, all you'll need is a buffer for your system to get started.
energyPLUS helps you prioritise using energy from your solar PV panels during optimal times to heat your hot water cylinder. This may help you reduce how much energy your home uses from the grid and lower electricity costs when it comes to your home's heating and hot water.
energyPLUS is compatible with most solar PV panel system manufacturers and electricity providers, fitting seamlessly into your current homes system.
Get started with energyPLUS with a quick online set up via the myVaillant app. It's quick, simple and ready to go without any on-site installation.
Stay in control of your home's energy with Vaillant's energy management system. Tailor energyPLUS settings to fit your needs, so you can achieve the perfect balance of comfort and efficiency across your home.
energyPLUS is currently free to use for all Vaillant connected heat pump customers, but Vaillant may limit this free service at any time.
Please note: We cannot guarantee any specific savings, as factors like weather conditions and electricity prices are outside of our control. Any savings shown in the app are estimates only and are not binding.
When you sign up for energyPLUS you will be asked various questions based on the set up of your PV system and their location. With this information we can use forecasts to understand the sunniest periods in which the most PV energy will be generated.
In its current form, energyPLUS will use self-generated electricity from the PV system to power the heat pump. energyPLUS will suggest a time window to charge your DHW cylinder when self-generated electricity is expected to be at its peak.
In the future, there will also be the option for optimisation based on current tariff prices.
For energyPLUS you will require a Vaillant heat pump, a myVAILLANT connect or sensoNET internet gateway and a solar photovoltaic system.
energyPLUS can be used with PV systems of any manufacturer and capacity. When you sign up to energyPLUS you will be asked questions to understand your PV system is set up such as capacity, the number of occupied roofs and the inclination and orientation of the roofs.
Customers with a cascade heat pump set up cannot currently benefit from energyPLUS, but hybrid systems are compatible. We are continuously looking to improve our services so compatibility with cascade systems is planned.
Home comfort is at the forefront of everything we do. Our service optimizes the operation of the heat pump in such a way that costs are reduced without sacrificing comfort for heating and hot water. Temperature limits are always respected, and if necessary, the user can make advanced settings to accommodate personal preferences.
Currently energyPLUS is only available to our HEATPUMP360 customers, you can sign up to this via myVaillant Web
energyPLUS is currently only available through the web platform and via light integration into the myVaillant app.
It is not possible to connect to another energy management system (e.g. via EEBUS). It is important that only one energy management system is connected at a time, as several systems could influence and interfere with each other.
Currently, energyPLUS does not yet take into consideration battery storage systems. We are continuously looking to improve our services so this could be taken into consideration for future developments.
