What does ErP mean for the older Vaillant Combi Boiler models?

15 Sep 2015

After 28th September 2015, every manufacturer of gas appliances will need to comply with these new regulations. Vaillant are no exception and as a result have released a number of new boiler models that are 100% ‘ErP Compliant’. The new ErP boilers have been built to meet specific eco-friendly criteria and have been labelled up in a manner that makes the efficiency of the boiler a lot easier to understand for the consumer.

The Energy Related Directive, commonly known as the ErP Directive, comes into place at the end of September in an effort to:

reduce the total amount of energy used,
decrease emissions and
increase renewable sources by 20% each before 2020.

But what does this mean for the older models of Vaillant Boiler that were available previously?

There's no need to panic!

Customers and installers who choose to purchase (or have existing stock of) the non-ErP boiler models from Vaillant can still have these fitted and these will continue to remain a popular choice until stock is fully exhausted, but as of 28th September Vaillant will no longer be producing the non-ErP boilers.

Vaillant's new models are pretty much identical to the old models (barring the odd changes) and this means that if you shop around you can get a fantastic deal on a non-ErP Vaillant boilers .

So who is responsible for ensuring everything follows the new ErP Regulations?

The manufacturer (Vaillant in this case) will provide the energy labels for their products.

The job however ultimately lies with your installer to calculate the efficiency of your system and to complete a document called a ‘fiche’, which will provide the full efficiency figure for the boiler and rest of the system.
