Why Vaillant Chose Heat Geek (What it Means for You)

[@user-vd2ln5dk8o]

Thank you for this. The public is hungry for open, informative and honest conversations of this kind.

"Top of the SCOP's" needs to be a monthly update series 😅 I'd sadly watch along 😉

[@markthomasson5077]

I had a Vaillant combi many years ago, it was excellent. Now need a heat pump. My house would better suit a simple air to air unit, be good if they made one for the UK market.

What is that fan noise in the background on top of the interview?

[@jamesjulian]

It’s at a heating show

[@markthomasson5077]

Gas boilers!

Scop doesn’t always equal cheap running costs.

[@SimonEllwood]

SCOP is just one element in efficiency.

Could of asked about future products instead of a hare trade mark, just saying

[@Beaglepup70]

Vaillant, you let yourself down over the software issue that required a board swap. You should have fallen on your sword and offered these as a warranty issue…Viessmann for me now.

Heat-Geek should be encouraging installers to make a note at the end of each install what went wrong with the install a) from the installer's perspective (what did they or their team do wrong and how might they have avoided the problem) and b) what aspect of the kit they were installing made the job difficult. If every installer did this, then the quality of installs and the feedback available to all manufacturers would increase massively.

[@tlangdon12]

Making gas as expensive as electricity has to be part of the solution, otherwise there is no imperative to move to heat pump technology. Doing so before there are sufficient installers available would be perverse though.

I’d prefer the statement to be ‘Making electricity as cheap as gas’ 😂. Yes I know that won’t happen but let’s not give them an easy route 😉

[@mikec2505]

It’s not that simple though. The majority of people on the breadline depend on gas. If air pumps are the future they need to have the incentive and the financial ability to change otherwise why punish them more?

[@jezzaandrews1940]

Do you want to rethink that idea? There are 25 million gas boilers in the country and an estimated 250,000 heat pumps. So you would quadruple the heating bills for those 25 million would you? How many young families and pensioners are struggling now?🙄

[@tlangdon12]

@ Definitely! There’s no incentive to change otherwise.

[@jezzaandrews1940]

@tlangdon12 I think we are all lucky you're not in charge than!!🙄
