KENT: Vaillant's commitment to reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions has been reinforced by an endorsement by the Energy Saving Trust across its entire ecoTEC boiler range.

John Collings, UK marketing director, said: "Recent revisions to the EST endorsement criteria for natural gas and LPG boilers means that all appliances have to be retested to meet new, much tougher criteria.

"Our ecoTEC boilers successfully meet the required performance criteria of being Sedbuk 'A' rated, having a standby electrical power consumption of 10W or less and featuring a keep-hot facility allowing it to be controlled by the user."
