Looking for the perfect system boiler for your large Edinburgh family home?
If so, the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 35CDi is probably already on your radar. And especially if you already have a regular boiler in your home, upgrading to a system boiler can be simpler than you may think – not to mention the benefits of super high efficiency and brilliant flow rates!
So, how do you tell if the 35CDi is the best choice for your home? Well, reviews like this one are a good place to start.
As an experienced engineer who’s served the Edinburgh area for over 20 years, I’m going to tell you all you need to know about this awesome boiler, below.
Introduction
So, let’s start with an introduction to the Worcester Bosch 35CDi. I’m very familiar with these boilers, and have installed many of them in large homes over the years. In a lot of cases, it’s because my customers have had regular boilers installed in their homes with old-fashioned pipework and an existing expansion tank, and want to upgrade to something more efficient.
As a general rule of thumb, system boilers tend to be cleaner, quieter and more efficient than regular boilers. However, if you current have a regular (or heat-only) boiler, there will be a bit of extra upheaval when you install or switch to a pressurised system. This can be off-putting if you have sealed or concrete flooring!
As for Worcester Bosch, they’re the current market leader and a Which? ‘Best Buy’ for several years running now! Their boilers tend to last longer than other brands, are manufactured with quality components and come with great guarantees (more about that below).
Output and flow rate
Now, let’s take a look at the output and flow rate you’ll get if you choose the Worcester Bosch 35CDi classic system boiler. As you can probably tell, this boiler provides 35kW to the heating and hot water, making it ideal for a large family home with 5 – 6 bedrooms (or 4 – 5 bedrooms with high ceilings and stone walls/floors).
To put it another way, this boiler can heat 12 – 18 radiators – which is quite impressive!
Not sure if this boiler is right for you? Don’t worry, your chosen engineer should be able to measure your home’s heat loss to get a more exact picture of what you need. Most importantly, you should check your pipework is up to the job, as this is a high-efficiency boiler. It has to be fitted with a fully-pumped system.
As this is a system boiler, you don’t have to worry about flow rates, as it’ll heat your new or existing hot water cylinder. Or, if you’d like to improve your flow rates, you can fit this boiler along with an unvented cylinder for all the hot water you’ll ever need!
Size and special features
Measuring in at 760mm x 440mm x 360mm, the 35CDi is a wall-hung boiler. It also comes with a steel wall-mounting jig, so that your engineer can fit your pipework behind the boiler. Which means it can be pre-piped before it’s even fitted to the wall!
Another bonus is that this particular boiler can be fitted with Worcester Bosch’s own range of high efficiency indirect, solar compatible Greenstore cylinders.
Guarantee
You’ll love this bit! The Worcester Bosch 35CDi system comes with the brand’s amazing 10-year no-quibble guarantee when fitted along with Worcester Bosch’s own cylinder, controls and magnetic central heating filter by an accredited installer. Or, you could just opt for the filter and controls, and still get an 8-year guarantee on your new system boiler.
Worcester Bosch really look after their customers, and making such an investment will ensure your new boiler is protected for as long as possible. This is why they’re so popular with homeowners and engineers alike!
