Worcester Bosch Greenstar Boilers

2

Specialising in Gas, Oil and LPG fired boilers, Worcester Bosch has been providing quality service in the heating and hot water industry since 1962. Also known as Worcester, the Bosch group became joint owners in 1992 and have built on the success of the original Worcester Group. All of Worcester’s boilers run at a 90% or over efficiency rate which sees them as the recognised market leader for high level efficiency technology in boilers.

In keeping with the morals behind Worcester they pride themselves on using Greenstar condensing boilers which, under the SEDBUK Government energy efficiency grading, are rated ‘A’, which basically means less natural gas, LPG or oil is wasted.

The Worcester Bosch boilers currently on the market cater for various users depending on specialist needs. The Combi boiler seems to be the most popular option used by property owners as hot water is available instantly without having to wait for a storage cylinder, as with regular boilers, to heat up. The more economic option over regular gas boilers would be system boilers which pump water to the radiators making them overall more responsive.

The gas firing Worcester Bosch boilers are favoured under part 1 of the Building Regulations and can lead to results of 20% savings on domestic bills. The High efficiency Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDi range has larger heat exchangers to recycle heat which would be lost on other boilers.

Adding to Worcester Bosch’s outlook on reducing their carbon footprint all of their systems are compatible with Worcester Greenskies solar panels.

Glow-worm categorise their boiler range with Combi, open vent and system. All offer different solutions depending on home type.

A combi boiler uses water directly from the mains pipe which offers hot water instantly. Top of Glow-worm’s list of combi boilers is the Ultracom cxi which comes with a 2 year parts and labour warranty and a SEDBUK rating, energy efficiency grading system used, of A. The Ultracom is the fourth in a line of developments which produces hot water within five seconds of usage. The Ultracom has a flashy digital display system that allows the users to specify certain programmes depending on the day of the week. At the bottom end of Glow-worms combi boilers is the Betacom C, the cheapest of the range and a SEDBUK grade of B.

Open vent boilers have taken a backseat with the introduction of combi boilers but they are still available from Glow-worm. An open vent boiler basically uses multiple tanks situated in the loft and airing cupboard. Glow-worm has two open vent boilers in the current range which are SEDBUK A and come with a 2 year warranty.

Finally, Glow-worm produce a system store boiler which can hold up to 170 litres of water, ideal for larger properties.
