The Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 615 (MPN 0010036010) is a 15kW gas system boiler, designed to work with a sealed heating system and a separate unvented or vented hot water cylinder. It's a good fit for smaller properties that need the pressurised, no-loft-tank benefits of a system boiler without the higher output of the 625 or 635 variants.
Built around Vaillant's IoniDETECT combustion monitoring technology, the 615 reaches a modulation range of up to 1:8 for closer matching to system demand. A stainless steel heat exchanger, semi-touch interface with guided commissioning, and readiness for up to a 20% hydrogen gas blend round out a boiler built for straightforward installation and long service life.
19.6kW
Max Water Generation
Gas Safe installation required. This is a mains gas appliance and must be installed, commissioned and serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer, in line with Building Regulations Part L and current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations.
Cylinder required: This is a system boiler — it must be installed with a separate hot water cylinder (typically an unvented cylinder for mains pressure hot water). It does not provide hot water on its own.
IoniDETECT Technology
Intelligent gas combustion monitoring helps the boiler reach a modulation range of up to 1:8 for closer matching to system demand.
Smart Home Ready
Pairs with the myVAILLANT connect internet gateway for app control, smart home integration and remote appliance support in minutes.
Automatic LPG Conversion
Conversion to LPG is completed in minutes via the interface during commissioning, with no additional parts required.
Hydrogen Prepared
Tested and validated to operate safely with up to a 20% hydrogen gas blend, future-proofing the installation against changes to the gas grid.
Guided Commissioning Wizard
A semi-touch interface with a step-by-step commissioning wizard simplifies first-time installation and setup for engineers.
Like-for-Like Replacement
Retains the same case dimensions, footprint and pipe connections as previous ecoTEC plus generations for a straightforward swap.

What's the difference between a system boiler and a combi boiler?
A system boiler heats water and stores it in a separate cylinder, typically unvented for mains-pressure hot water, without needing a loft tank. A combi heats water directly on demand with no cylinder. System boilers suit homes wanting strong, simultaneous hot water flow at multiple outlets without the loft tank a full open vent system requires.
Do I need a cylinder to use this boiler?
Yes. This is a system boiler supplied without a cylinder — it must be connected to a compatible hot water cylinder, typically unvented, to provide domestic hot water.
Can this boiler be converted to run on LPG?
Yes. The ecoTEC plus 615 supports automatic LPG conversion, completed in minutes via the interface at commissioning stage with no additional parts required, thanks to IoniDETECT technology continuously adapting to the gas type.
What size property does the ecoTEC Plus 615 suit?
With a 19.6kW maximum water generation output, the 615 suits smaller properties. Homes needing higher hot water capacity for multiple bathrooms may be better served by the 25kW ecoTEC plus 625 or 35kW ecoTEC plus 635.
Who can install this boiler?
Installation, commissioning and servicing must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, in line with UK Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and Building Regulations Part L.
