Which Worcester Bosch boiler is best for my home?
It wouldn’t surprise us if you landed here because you’ve heard a lot of amazing reviews about Worcester Bosch boilers, but you’re just not sure which Worcester boiler model or boiler type is best suited to your home and needs. The best place to start is by getting an understanding of what a combi, system, or regular boiler is and how they work, which we have covered in-depth in other blogs. However, here’s a quick breakdown for you:
- Combi boilers don’t have any tanks, they heat water from the mains water supply. Combi boilers tend to be the best option for most UK homes as they don’t require storage tanks and offer heating and hot water on demand.
- System boilers have a hot water storage tank, usually in an airing cupboard. System boilers are usually found in households with more than one bathroom in use at the same time (high hot water demand).
- Regular boilers have a hot water tank and a cold water storage tank (usually in the attic). Regular boilers are useful for homes with low water pressure as they utilise a ‘gravity fed’ system but due to the tanks involved, most homes switch to a combi boiler when replacing a regular boiler.
Now that we’ve done our homework and figured out which Worcester Bosch boiler type we need, now we can look at which Worcester Bosch boiler model would be best suited to your home.
It’s worth mentioning here that if you take the WarmZilla survey, we’ll automatically recommend the most suitable boilers for you by asking a few simple questions about your home. You don’t need to worry about what kW boiler you need as we’ll suggest the right boilers for your home.
Although, if you wanted to compare your current heating system to other boiler brands and models, you could use our Boiler Comparison tool. This tool allows you to compare up to three boilers models or brands at one time, to help you find the perfect new boiler for your home.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of which Worcester Bosch boiler is best for your home, here’s a little bit about Worcester Bosch’s brand history.
