To most people, boilers are a mystery. We love them though, and even more so when they are as efficient as they can be. Worcester Bosch Group has developed a new generation of central heating boilers that not only reduce CO emissions, but can also reduce fuel bills. 75% of the energy used in the home is for heating and hot water which accounts for about 73% of a home’s CO emissions. Boilers over 15 years old are often only around 60% efficient or less (rated G in the SEDBUK* scale). This means that for every pound spent on fuel, 40p is wasted energy!

Below is a guide to help you work out the type of boiler you may require. Our heating engineers based in Edinburgh, have years of experience installing boilers. Get in touch to find out more!

• You want to use your loft space for a room conversation or other purpose – COMBI
• You live in a flat or bungalow (ie have very little or no roofspace) – COMBI
• Your home has more than 2 bathrooms – REGULAR or SYSTEM
• Your mains water pressure is low – REGULAR or SYSTEM
• You want to replace an old boiler to improve an existing conventional central heating system – REGULAR, SYSTEM or COMBI
• There is a need to have hot water available on tap without having to wait for the water to heat up – COMBI

If you decide to have a new Worcester Greenstar system or regular boiler installed, it is worth bearing in mind that these types of boiler can be complemented by a Worcester Greenskies solar water system.

This could provide between 50-70% of your annual hot water from a sustainable and free source of energy. If the idea of installing solar water is something for the future, you can prepare for it now by asking us to install your new boiler with a twin coil hot water cylinder. this will save you money and inconvenience when you have a solar system installed.
