Let Vaillant guide you to your perfect heating system.
The 1st step: start exploring your heating options with our quick check.
Starting your journey to a new heating system from Vaillant involves understanding its essential components. At the core of your system is the primary energy source, which significantly influences the efficiency and performance of your heating solution. Gas and environmental energy are among the most common energy sources, with boilers and heat pumps being the related technologies that harness these sources.
Quick check
Exploring heat pumps, gas boilers, and hybrid systems.
Our table simplifies the differences between heat pumps, gas boilers, and if you combine both also hybrid systems. This serves as a foundation to help you start understanding your choices and guide you towards the right decision.
The 2nd step: dive into details of each technology.
After gaining a first impression of the most common technologies, this section provides detailed insights into each one, highlighting core benefits and differences. Access additional information answering the most common questions.
Technology option: heat pumps
Heat pumps: choose future-ready efficiency.
Heat pumps are a well-established technology. They use just one part electricity to deliver up to four parts heat. The majority of this energy comes directly from renewable sources in the environment – air, ground or water. That way, you reduce your dependence on fossil fuels and protect yourself against rising CO₂ costs.
We at Vaillant raise heat pump efficiency to the next level drawing on over 150 years of German engineering excellence. A standard that you can also feel beyond efficiency: our heat pumps undergo over 300 rigorous tests so that you can reliably enjoy them for a long time in your home. Discover how heat pumps work, which long- term benefits they offer and what makes them a future-proof and sustainable investment.

- Housetype: solutions for any home environment.Explore our heat pump technologies
Heat pumps fit various home types, from modern apartments to rural homes, providing sustainable heating and energy savings.
- Efficiency: maximizing energy savings.Discover the key efficiency indicator of a heat pump: the COP
Heat pumps offer impressive efficiency by moving heat rather than generating it, providing sustainable warmth with minimal energy use.
- Initial costs: investing in the future of your home.Heat pump costs
While heat pumps may require a higher initial investment, they often qualify for subsidies and incentives.
- Running costs: save more over time.Heat pump running costs
Heat pumps can offer lower running costs over time, thanks to their high efficiency and use of renewable energy.
Technology option: gas boiler
Gas Condensing Boilers: Opt for decades of refined performance.
Gas boilers have long been a cornerstone in home heating. By burning natural gas, they heat water that circulates through radiators or underfloor heating. When Johann Vaillant invented the first closed-system gas water heater he revolutionised home comfort in 1894. Since then, we've perfected gas boiler technology. Now Vaillant boilers reliably reach peak performance thanks to gas condensing technology and smart connectivity features. And we are not done yet: we continue to develop our boilers to make them ready for more sustainable fuel alternatives – from hydrogen to bio natural gas. Let's explore how gas boilers work and the advantages they bring to your home.

Ideal for homes with existing gas connections, gas boilers are known for their quick heat delivery and ease of use.
- Efficiency: perfected to the max.Learn about how a gas boiler works
Gas boilers convert a high percentage of fuel into usable heat, making them a reliable choice for immediate warmth.
Technology option: heat pump + gas boiler
Hybrid heating: the ultimate comfort blend.
You don't want to solely rely on one technology, and with hybrid heating systems, you don't have to. Experience the perfect fusion of gas boilers and heat pumps, combining reliability with cutting-edge efficiency. This adaptable system ensures your home stays warm and your energy costs stable, no matter the weather. By intelligently switching between technologies, hybrid systems provide optimal comfort and savings. Embrace a solution that's ready for the future and tailored to your needs.

The amount of potential subsidies depends on the funding programs currently available in the country concerned. The specific funding amount and eligibility requirements must be researched and confirmed individually, as funding volumes, subsidies, and conditions are subject to change.
**Homes built since 1990 are generally equipped with insulation that allows for efficient heating with flow temperatures below 55°C. Even older homes can meet these requirements with appropriate upgrades. Our expert installers are available to determine if a heat pump is suitable for your home.
