“Our old boiler of nearly 20 years a Worcester was due for replacement. This boiler had given us great service during that period with very few problems..It was a no brainer to replace it with another Worcester and we opted for the green star range..so far so good definitely hotter and without a doubt more energy efficient by far than the old boiler.”
“My choice of boiler was influenced by personal experience of Worcester Bosch. I have visited the factory, seen their impressive training facilities and production line. This is a good quality brand, made for decades in Britain. The 10 year guarantee backs up this reputation and was also important in my choice. The boiler has now been installed for 12 months.”
