I Got The Wiring Wrong On The New Vaillant Ecotec Plus - A Day In The Life Of A Gas Engineer 66

I got the wiring wrong on the new Vaillant Ecotec Plus. This was my first time installing this latest version and first impressions are it's a lovely boiler to work on and install. I'm not keen on Vaillant going back to the simple flue, I preferred the look of the previous one. This was a straight upgrade from an old Vaillant Turbomax to the new Ecotec Plus.

They do look nice the valliants…but I can’t bring myself to install one still 😅 great work mate 👊

[@cputilitysolutions]

Thanks mate, yeah they're nice boilers but not cheap!

[@effervescence5664]

These are my go to boiler. Hot water priority with different fire rates for heating or hot water. Decent to work on, deathly silent when running and just a better boiler than previous models. Their own brand controls are far better now too. The ionization probe basically measures the calorific value via combustion so it knows what gas is in there, idea being it can self adjust between different gas families so it's hydrogen and lpg ready out the box. Not entirely sure how it works but that was the explanation the Valliant rep gave me. Lovely install as usual.

[@cputilitysolutions]

Ah nice one thanks for the info on the ionisation probe 👊🏾

[@elwittinio2865]

Yep fitted one today, converted to LPG is a piece of piss, easiest boiler I've had for that. Only grumble was the stupid insulation pad on the back, and registration for warranty on the phone was a fckn joke of 30 mins and 6 calls 🤬

Sweet little slick Boiler very quiet, Good install mate, 👍👍🤜

Tidy install. Really impressive new vaillant boiler range.

[@cputilitysolutions]

Thanks mate 👍🏾

[@stephenharris5519]

If Luke gets a CP cap we should all get one.

[@cputilitysolutions]

🫡😉

[@ram64man]

yes the ion probe does monitor the incoming gas, and adjusts the mix, word of warning DO NOT TOUCH THE ION PROBE , the coating is special. touching it WILL kill it, as stated at VALANT launch conference and training course

[@cputilitysolutions]

Nice one 👍🏾

[@rickysheldon4355]

Very good 😊

Nice one, lads. I'm glad im not the only one working till daft O clock on sone installations.

[@cputilitysolutions]

Never a short day!

[@dannytoone835]

I’ve always been told not to cut inner flue with angle grinder.. something about the heat can cause the plastic to fail??? I have no idea if this is the case however

[@cputilitysolutions]

Hmm I can't say I've heard that before

[@sjallsopp7778]

Hi the dewalt mini cutter you use to cut the flue, what is it? Nice job 👍

[@cputilitysolutions]

Search for DeWalt mini angle grinder 👍🏾

[@daz3745]

Expensive piece of kit.

[@royboywales]

No Magna clean? Warranty issues?

[@cputilitysolutions]

The Vaillant filter gives 10yr warranty with the boiler 👍🏾

[@Heatking]

I wish I had your back log of videos mate 😂❤ great one yet again!

[@cputilitysolutions]

Thanks mate! Well I had pretty much nothing in August once Jaisica was born so I should catch up to current works pretty soon!

[@winnieowen4401]

not a new video then recorded in july

[@cputilitysolutions]

Well observed 👍🏾

[@Tonche-p5y]

The code you should of kept it secret it’s only for engineers

[@laurencelagden]

It’s hardly a secret. It’s in the literature that comes with the boiler.

[@elwittinio2865]

You sound to young to comment about this, probably some 17 year old 🤫

[@Tonche-p5y]

@@elwittinio2865 I’m old enough to be your daddy mate

[@Tonche-p5y]

@@laurencelagden yes it is in the benchmark book bout should be for those who are gas safe registered to have access to it not anyone to put they hands on it .

[@elwittinio2865]

Fitted one today, nice boiler but what a ballache registering the warranty over the phone. Absolutely pain in the ass and reminds me why i dont fit them much. Nice vid anyway brudda ❤💪👊

[@cputilitysolutions]

I just do the warranty through the app. But yeah I'm not a massive fan of the new Vaillants

[@elwittinio2865]

​@@cputilitysolutionsYea will do the installer app next time, had no data as out in the sticks 😅😎

[@Edrus20]

Didn't know you can terminate condense pipe before water trap

[@cputilitysolutions]

Boiler has its own trap 👍🏾

[@Aylaun84]

Rubbish boiler endless issues since day 1.

[@cathyoshea3844]

Excellent video do you not stop for something to eat.

[@cputilitysolutions]

Yeah have a quick break for lunch and then crack on!

[@brahim21261]

Good Job you 2

[@cputilitysolutions]

Thank you

[@russianvictory1]

Hi, Had the new Ecotec Plus 826 installed, do you know when it switches between heating and hot water, if it’s meant to make this noise like gear changing or something. Not sure if it’s common issue or not? Say the central heating is on you go to use hot water it makes this noise when it changes over to hot water and then when you turn the tap off, it makes the noise again before switching back to central heating.

[@cputilitysolutions]

Sounds like the diverter valve

[@russianvictory1]

Yeah thats what the bloke from British Gas said too, but he said its normal the news ones all make this noise? Is this true? and if not i will call Vaillant and have them replace the diverter valve@@cputilitysolutions
