Are you thinking about buying a combi boiler from the Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDi Classic range?
The Greenstar CDi classic is a fantastic range of boilers best suited to homes with one or two bathrooms, and the flow rates they provide are some of the best on offer.
But with four different models to choose from, how can you tell which one you need?
It’s a question I get asked from my customers all the time when browsing this range, and to get the right answer, you really need to know which outputs and flow rates are going to match your property’s needs.
Below, I’ve tried to help you out by giving you an overview of the entire CDi Classic range, including which type of home is best suited to each model.
Introduction
With a great range of outputs and some fantastic flow rates on offer, the Greenstar CDi classic range of boilers are ideal for medium to large-sized homes with one or two bathrooms,a high pressure showers and a deep cast iron bath.
I personally love these boilers as they are easy to install, and come with some excellent advanced features that are practically future proof – exactly what you’d expect from a premium boiler brand like Worcester Bosch, voted Which ‘Best Buy’ for six years running.
Output and flow rate
Below, you’ll find the relevant central heating and hot water outputs for each of these boilers, as well as the flow rate you can expect to your taps:
Greenstar 29CDi classic: This boiler provides an output of 30 kw to the heating and 30kw to the hot water at 12.3 litres of hot water per minute (35 degrees Celsius)
Greenstar 34CDi classic: This boiler will give you an output of 30 kw to the heating and 35 kw to the hot water at 14.3 litres of hot water per minute (35 degrees Celsius)
Greenstar 38CDi classic: This boiler supplies an output of 30 kw to the heating and 40 kw to the hot water at 16.4 litres of hot water per minute (35 degrees Celsius)
Greenstar 42CDi classic: This boiler allows for an output of 30 kw to the heating and 42 kw to the hot water at 17.2 litres of hot water per minute (35 degrees Celsius)
Size and special features
Measuring in at 760 mm x 440 mm x 360 mm, the CDi classic range unfortunately won’t fit into a standard-sized kitchen cupboard or Edinburgh press. These are wall-hung boilers, so they can either go on your kitchen wall, or be placed inside a larger storage cupboard.
A great feature of the CDi classic is the large internal siphon which eliminates the risk of your condensate pipe freezing over, along with an in-built keyless filling link provided as standard. These boilers also come with advanced energy efficient controls.
Guarantee
Another great advantage is that this excellent range of boilers come with Worcester Bosch’s brilliant 10-year no-quibble guarantee (when fitted along with the brand’s own filter and controls, by an accredited installer) – so you’ll have ultimate peace of mind.
TIP: All Worcester Bosch’s guarantees are subject to the boiler being serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Ideal for
Now listen up, as I’m about to tell you which model out of the Greenstar CDi combi classic range is best suited to your home.
Greenstar 29CDi classic: Best suited to medium-sized spacious properties with larger rooms, 10 – 14 radiators, and a high pressure shower or bath (not both at the same time)
Greenstar 34CDi classic: A great choice for medium-sized spacious properties with larger rooms, 10 – 14 radiators, and a high pressure shower plus bath (can run two showers at once)
Greenstar 38CDi classic: Ideal for medium to large properties with high ceilings and stone walls, with 10 – 14 radiators, and a high pressure shower or bath (can run two showers at once, or run a bath and a shower simultaneously)
Greenstar 42CDi classic: Best suited to a large five-bedroom home with 2 bathrooms, and 10-14 radiators (can run two showers and a bath no problem)
TIP: I always say this part is more of a rough guide, and you should always get your chosen engineer to measure your home’s heat loss to be absolutely sure you’re making the right choice.
Conclusion
I hope you’ve found this blog to be of help when debating over which Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDi classic combi boiler to buy for your home, but just remember that every property is different and to be on the safe side, you should get your chosen engineer to measure your home’s heat loss and usage.
