Gas Boilers

Combi boilers are the most popular heating and hot water solution in the UK, and they are now the preferred choice for most householders and installers. Worcester Bosch was the pioneer of the combi boiler in the UK with the Greenstar range developed to suit virtually all homes. Combi boilers heat water directly from the mains when you turn on the tap so you won’t need a hot water storage cylinder or a cold water storage tank in the roof space.

Advantages:

• Compact sizes are perfect for smaller properties
• Ideal where there is little or no space
• No need for hot water cylinder or cold storage tank
• Less pipework making installation more cost effective

However, there is a large range of both system and regular boilers which are ultra-efficient and economical to run.

System boilers provide plenty of hot water to multiple taps via a storage cylinder.

Advantages:

• Great for homes with more than one bathroom
• Constant supply of hot water
• No need for a feed and expansion tank in the loft
• Economical to run
• Built-in components make the installation quicker and easier, for example, removing the need for a pump and diverter valve in the airing cupboard
• Compatible with solar water heating systems for lower carbon footprint and lower energy costs

Regular boilers meet all of the heating demands of every size home and are an ideal energy efficient replacement for an existing boiler.

Advantages:

• Perfect for homes where a lot of hot water is used at the same time
• Good option in areas where water pressure is low
• Compatible with solar water heating systems for lower carbon footprint and lower energy costs

Oil Boilers

Whether you want a combi, system or regular boiler, there is a Greenstar model to suit your preference and lifestyle. If the floor space in your home is limited or if you prefer to have a boiler that is sited outside, the Greenstar external boiler range is a perfect choice. As highly efficient as indoor models and with a robust, weather proof and fully insulated cabinet they provide optimum performance even in extreme weather conditions. Greenstar Heatslave II Combi Boiler come in a choice of three central heating outputs and offer hot water flow rates of up to 22 litres per minute depending on the model. For added flexibility, Greenstar Heatslave II external boilers can be used with the Greenstar Comfort controls range and the Bosch Easycontrol internet enabled smart controller as their internal counterparts, which can be mounted inside your property for complete ease of adjustment. Greenstar Danesmoor system and regular external boilers are also available in three different central heating output options and are compatible with Worcester Bosch Greenskies solar and Worcester Bosch Greensource air to water heat pumps for greener lower cost hot water and heating.

What is the future of gas boilers?

Burning natural gas is an effective way of heating a home. That’s why over 20 million UK homes have a gas boiler. But they’re not so good for the environment. Mainly because every time your boiler fires up, more carbon makes its way into the atmosphere. And that’s a leading cause of climate change.

Hydrogen won’t be added to the gas network until 2026 at the very earliest. This is to enable the UK to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050.

Why hydrogen boilers?

For the heating and hot water industry, removing carbon entirely is a complex matter, largely because of the existing infrastructure, where the majority of UK homes use natural gas for heating.

Yet, with a third of UK greenhouse gases coming from our homes, it is quite clear that the UK will not meet its climate change targets without a change in home heating technology and fuel.

Replacing natural gas boilers with hydrogen gas may be the simplest solution to the nation’s heating problems. The only by-product of burning hydrogen gas is water, meaning that it is a carbon free fuel source and could be a key method to help decarbonise heating and hot water in UK homes.

What does ‘Hydrogen blend ready’ mean?

Nearly all gas appliances that are in use today, including our boilers, are able to run on a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas.

This is called a ‘blend’ and sees 20% of the fuel source powering the appliance being hydrogen gas, with the remaining 80% being natural gas.

This means, that when the government begins to increase the amount of ‘green gases’ into the UK gas grid, you can be confident your new gas boiler will run for its lifetime.
