What temperature should a Vaillant boiler be set at?
Meanwhile, we recommend the water heating temperature to be set at around 60 degrees celsius. Setting this any higher can increase the risk of scaling within your system, so is ill advised. This setting should again provide an ideal balance of heating performance and efficiency for the majority of homes..
How do I turn on the heating on my Vaillant EcoTec pro?
Turn the boiler ON by turning the ON/OFF control (5) from the ‘0’ position to the ‘I’ position. The radiator temperature control (2) sets the maximum radiator temperature. Check that the remote programmer is in an on setting (see separate programmer instructions) and check that the room thermostat is calling for heat.
Why isn’t my boiler firing up?
A boiler might not ignite due to various possible reasons – insufficient pressure, blockage in the burner, faulty valves, frozen pipes etc. Sometimes, you can fix the problem on your own. In other cases, you don’t have any choice but to call an engineer.

What is the normal operating temperature of a boiler?
180°F.
The average setting for a gas-powered hot water boiler is 180°F. This provides the appropriate level needed for most cold weather temperatures. If you can raise the temperature manually, do not set it any higher than 210°F (which is often the limit), and try to remain down at 190°F if you need the extra heat.
Why is my boiler not giving me hot water?
If the boiler pressure is too high or too low, this can result in your combi boiler not producing hot water. This should release pressure. If this doesn’t work, it may be possible that your boiler has a broken part, and you’ll need to consult an engineer. Boiler leaks can also cause low pressure.
