Need a new boiler, but unsure about how much it’s going to cost?
Worcester Bosch boilers are the number one choice for consumers as voted by Which (‘Best Buy’) for the fourth year running – so congratulations for making the right choice.
However, they also have quite a vast range of different boiler types and prices, with something to suit most homes and budgets – which can often be a little bit confusing.
In fact, it can be especially daunting when it comes to working out just which Worcester Bosch boiler prices and types of boiler are best for your home (although several factors can affect the overall price you may have to pay – for more info, check out our recent blog post ‘How Much does a New Combi Boiler Cost?’).
So, today I’m going to give you a little bit of guidance by detailing Worcester Bosch’s system gas boiler prices and types below:
Why choose a system gas boiler?
Well, there’s a couple of reasons why you might opt for a system boiler: the first is if your home uses large amounts of hot water, you may be worried that a combi won’t be the right choice.
The second reason is that you may already have a regular boiler fitted, with an existing expansion tank.
A system boiler looks and works essentially in the same way that a regular boiler does, the main difference being that it comes with a pump and pressure vessel fitted inside it to pressurise the system.
Because of this, system boilers tend to be cleaner, quieter and more efficient than regular boilers.
As long as engineers can access the pipes underneath your floor to test the system, there’s no reason why your home can’t be fitted with a system boiler – however, if your floor is concrete or you have sealed flooring, you may not want the extra upheaval of switching to a pressurised system.
Below are the two types of system boilers offered by Worcester Bosch:
Greenstar Cdi classic system range
Overall output: 30kw – 35kw
Size: To fit a larger cupboard. Slightly bigger than kitchen unit.
Best suited to: Larger four to five-bedroom homes.
Price range: £2300 – £3300
Greenstar i system range
Overall output: 12kw – 30kw
Size: Compact, can fit inside a kitchen unit
Best suited to: This boiler type covers quite a wide range, and can suit up to a four-bedroom home.
Price range: £1900 – £2600
Conclusion
So, now you should have a good idea of what you can expect to pay for a Worcester Bosch system boiler. These types of boilers are perfect if you already have a regular boiler with an existing expansion tank, but are looking to upgrade to a pressurised system.
The main benefit of system boilers is that they are cleaner, quieter and more efficient than regular boilers, although engineers will need access to the pipes underneath your floorboards to ensure there will be no leaks or problems when switching from a low pressure system.
