What Types of Boilers Do Worcester Bosch Provide?

Worcester Bosch offers an extensive range of combi, system and conventional (regular) boilers. While they currently don’t offer electric boilers, they do have a good selection of oil, natural gas and LPG-compatible boilers. 

All their boilers are also A-rated, meaning they are over 90% efficient and waste minimal fuel during operation. 

Combi boilers

There are over 2 million gas-powered Worcester Bosch combi boilers currently installed in the UK. They are a go-to choice for their high energy efficiency, comfort and reliability. 

Combi boilers are generally suited to smaller households, providing both on-demand hot water and heating in a single, compact unit. However, thanks to various output options that range up to 50 kW (like the Greenstar 8000 Life Combi), you can easily find a Worcester combi boiler to power a large house with 3+ bathrooms. 

Whether you’re looking for something sleek and stylish or compact enough for a kitchen cupboard, Worcester Bosch has a combi boiler for you. 

In terms of efficiency, you can expect 92% to 94% for a natural gas or LPG model and 90% to 91% for an oil combi boiler. 

System boilers

Designed to cater to larger homes with multiple bathrooms, system boilers meet high hot water and heating demands. They are also excellent at maintaining consistent water pressure, even when opening multiple outlets.

From smaller models like the Greenstar 4000 System 12 kW boiler to large commercial units like the Condens 7000 WP, Worcester Bosch’s system boilers promise easy installation and dependable hot water supply.

Additionally, they can be easily paired with solar heating systems and are over 90% efficient, making them kind to the environment too. 

Regular boilers

If you have a busy household with very high hot water needs, a Worcester Bosch regular boiler is what you need. These boilers are also ideal if you live in an area with low water pressure or have an older property and want a quick replacement for your outdated, inefficient boiler. 

While old regular boilers are notoriously inefficient, Worcester Bosch’s range boasts efficiency ratings between 90% and 94%. This means that you can have peace of mind knowing that you won’t waste money unnecessarily on your energy bills. 

Worcester Bosch also caters to various budgets, with their regular boiler prices starting from £820 for the Greenstar 12Ri.

On average, you can expect to pay between £730 and £5,230 for a Worcester Bosch boiler, without installation (£1,530 to £5,230+ with installation). 

However, the cost of a Worcester Bosch boiler will differ depending on several factors. These include the boiler’s:

Benefits of Choosing a Worcester Bosch Boiler

Opting for a Worcester Bosch boiler offers numerous benefits, including substantial energy efficiency, recognised reliability, and potential long-term cost savings.

Energy efficiency

All Worcester Bosch boilers have an Energy-related Product (ErP) rating of A, with efficiency between 90% and 94%. This means that each of their boilers only wastes a maximum of 10% of the fuel they use to produce heating and hot water. 

By upgrading from a G-rated boiler to a modern Worcester Bosch boiler, you can save around £480 per year on your energy bills, based on the June 2024 price cap for gas at 6.04p per kWh. This is all thanks to their modern condensing technology and minimal fuel wastage.

Hydrogen-ready gas boilers

All of Worcester Bosch’s natural gas boilers are hydrogen ready, meaning that they can function optimally on a blend of 20% hydrogen and 80% natural gas.

This enhances their eco-friendliness and prepares them for a potential future where hydrogen becomes more prominent in domestic heating. As a result, they promise reduced carbon emissions and improved energy efficiency.

Reliability and performance

Worcester Bosch makes boilers that are known for their dependability and generally have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years. 

Additionally, they provide warranties that can stretch up to 12 years, indicating the brand’s trust in its products.

The reliability and performance of Worcester Bosch boilers come down to their durability, build quality, and ease of installation and servicing.

They are also recognised for their minimal noise output, with several boilers being Quiet Mark Certified, like the Greenstar 4000 and 2000 models.

Smart technology

Bosch EasyControl is a smart connected thermostat that can be paired with many new Worcester boiler models, including all the Greenstar ranges. 

It can easily be integrated with your smart home system, allowing you to remotely adjust your central heating from your smartphone app. 

Bosch EasyControl allows ensures you keep tabs on your energy usage, which helps reduce your bills even further.
