Viessmann vs Vaillant Boilers
Viessmann vs Vaillant are two of the best German boilers you can buy in the UK today.
While Vaillant is the better known brand in the UK out of the two, Viessmann have brought their commercial heating experience to their domestic boiler range and have won the Best Buy Boiler award for the 2nd year running.
You can find online reviews on everything from a pin to a plane online in 2019. You can do your own thorough, detailed research on any product before buying it. If you suffered a boiler breakdown during 2018’s Beast from the East and it’s still too fresh in your memory, and you don’t want to repeat that during another harsh winter, chances are you may be looking at a boiler replacement right now.
Which means you’ve gotten quotes from several different heating and boiler companies or manufacturers. Furthermore that means you may have received quotes for several boilers, including Viessmann vs Vaillant. Which means you have probably searched for Viessmann vs Valliant online, and that’s how you’ve ended up on this page. 🙂
Let’s take a brief look at both Viessmann and Vaillant.
Availability and cost of spares, servicing costs etc…
Hi Jonah,
Viessmann’s headquarters are now in Telford, Shropshire, so parts are readily available. Plus Plumbase carry all Viessmann parts now, so availability around the UK is absolutely not an issue anymore.
Annual servicing cost is about £80 to preserve manufacturer’s warranty.
I will never, ever buy Vaillant product again. After two years a heat exchanger has crack and my kitchen was flooded. The service is unacceptable, it’s been over a week now and I’m still without hot water and heating and it’s been around 2 to 7 degrees outside. If you would like to have similar experience, then Vaillant products are for you.

What about a Worcester Bosch that come at the top of the Which list?
I’ve had a Worcester for many years and found this to be a great boiler.
Hi Brett,
Thanks for your comment. Worcester Bosch are great boilers and are market leaders for a reason.
However, we still maintain that the Viessmann is the better boiler because of the reasons listed in this comparison article: https://boilerhut.co.uk/worcester-bosch-vs-viessmann/

I currently run a WORCESTER Greenstar Ri condensing boiler with a 30 gallon hot water tank . Not sure but think it’s 24kw ? The house has 7 radiators and two bathrooms , shower and bath . Which ZEISSMAN boiler is appropriate for these requirements ? Would a local man be fitting it , I’d prefer someone local to service it . Fitted price too ???
I need to make the choice soon between GLOW WORM and ZEISSMAN as my local man , also friend fits Glow Worm with 10yr warrentee
