Next up, we have the Worcester Bosch 15i, a popular system boiler from the brand’s Greenstar range. Here we’ll provide you with all the information you need to decide whether it’s a good fit for your home.
We’re pretty sure you’ll have heard of Worcester Bosch before but just in case, here’s a little information about the brand behind the Greenstar 15i. Worcester Bosch is a UK boiler manufacturer that has been operating since the early 1960s. Over the years, they’ve gained a reputation for greatness, manufacturing powerful, energy-efficient boilers, to suit all properties. Their biggest competitor is Germany’s Vaillant brand, with both companies owning a large share of the European domestic boiler market.
If you are looking for a reliable system boiler, you can’t go far wrong with a Worcester Bosch. They’re a trusted brand you can count on, and as Worcester Bosch Accredited Installers, Hometree is the top choice for your boiler installation.
Now we’ve got that straight, let’s take a closer look at the Worcester 15i system boiler.
Will the Worcester Bosch 15i System be suitable for my home?
The Worcester Bosch Greenstar 15i is ideal for small to medium-sized houses, as well as flats and bungalows. It has a central heating output of 15kW and can heat up to 10 radiators. If you haven’t already, count up your radiators and see how many you’ve got. It’s the easiest way to determine the boiler output you’ll need.
As the Worcester Greenstar 15i is a system boiler, it will need a cylinder to store the hot water, but it won’t need a loft tank. If you already have a cylinder installed, the Greenstar 15i could be a practical choice. If not, we can help you find a hot water cylinder that is compatible with the Worcester 15i, providing that it’s the best choice for your home.
One of the great things about installing a system boiler is that you can get hot water to multiple taps at the same time. This means if you’re washing the pots in the kitchen sink and someone else in your household is running a bath, you’ll both be able to access hot water without having to compromise on lower pressure. The Worcester Bosch 15i can also be installed as part of a solar heating system for energy and cost savings.
If you have a bigger home with more than 10 radiators, one of the higher output models (18kW, 21kW, 24kW, 27kw or 30kW) from the Greenstar i system range, is likely to suit you more. The two larger outputs are more compact in size and designed to fit inside a standard kitchen cupboard.
For comparison with another brand, take a look at the Vaillant ecoFit Pure 615. This system boiler also has a central heating output of 15kW and is solar compatible like the Worcester Bosch 15i. The key difference is the slightly smaller size, as it’s intended to fit in a standard kitchen cupboard.
