How to turn VAILLANT heating ON or OFF with Remote Control

How do you just turn the heating on or off with the Vaillant boiler remote control? I show how to easily turn the heating on and off PLUS the 3 modes which turn the timer off and either keep the heating on all the time (Comfort Mode), off all the time (Setback Mode), or turn the boiler, timer and heating off all at once (Summer Mode). This is for the Valliant VRT 350f controller for our Vaillant Ecofit Pure boiler.

Hello, how do you turn the heating on or off with this, a Vaillant boiler remote control? This is a very quick video showing you how to get started with one of these. I've made two really detailed videos showing how to set the timer and going through the entire instruction manual. The links to these are in the description. But the new thing I'm trying today to make your family happy is turning a Vaillant boiler heating on and off.

There are two super basic things that are really confusing with this remote control: the Sunshine Day icon and the night Moon icon. These don't mean day or night; they show when the timer program is on or off. The second crucial thing is desired temperature. If the heating timer is on (that's the sun icon), the desired temperature is the highest temperature it will hit before turning the heating off. If the heating timer is off (the moon icon), the desired temperature is the lowest temperature it'll hit before turning the heating on. It sounds more complicated than it is; it's basically to stop the room from getting too hot when it's on or too cold when the heating's off.

So this is good news for us. 

If you want to turn the heating on quickly, turn this dial to change the desired temperature to a really high number, and the heating will just stay on because your house is never going to hit 28° (well, our house never hits 28°). If you want to turn the heating off, use the dial to turn the desired temperature to a really low number. Hopefully, your room will never hit 8°, but if it does, the heating will come back on again.

To turn the timer off on a Vaillant heating remote control, so we’ll get rid of the auto setting in the corner there. We have three options: to turn the heating on so it's just on all the time. I salute you; you're living the dream. We need Comfort mode. 

On the first screen, press mode, then turn the dial down to Comfort mode and press the activate button on the right. The desired temperature is the highest temperature before it turns itself off. Just turn the dial to change it.

To turn the Vaillant heating off just to have it off all the time... I’d love to have it off all the time... but the house is too cold. You need setback mode. 

Press the mode button, turn the dial to setback mode, and click the activate button on the right. Now the desired temperature is the lowest before the heating turns on. We can set it to something like a chilly 14° so we don't freeze in the night.

To turn the boiler off and the heating and the timer programs off, just choose summer mode and drink a cocktail by the pool. You can set different desired temperatures for when the timer is on or off. For a step-by-step “how to set the Vaillant heating timer”, try this video here. And the entire Vaillant instruction manual is here. It is the most boring video I've ever made, but every single instruction is on there. Thank you for hitting the thumbs-up button.
