If you don’t have a mains gas supply and are looking for a replacement oil-fired boiler, the Greenstar Danesmoor Regular could be the perfect solution for your home. It’s suitable for pretty much any small, medium or large property and will easily fit under most kitchen or utility room worktops. As the entire Worcester Bosch Greenstar range has received the Which? Best Buys accolade, you can rest assured that you’ll be choosing a top rated boiler when you opt for this high-efficiency conventional model.
How Much Does this Boiler Cost?
The Worcester Bosch Greenstar Danesmoor Regular is available in a heat output of 18kW, 25kW or 32kW, and the price will ultimately depend on the supplier and which output you need. Having looked around, we can tell you that the average cost of this model is between £1,400 and £2,100 (which includes VAT). To find the most competitive deal, we suggest you compare prices from local boiler supplier and national companies. Also, don’t forget to get quotes on the installation as well.
How will I know if this Boiler is Suitable for My Home?
As it’s a regular oil boiler, you’ll need separate tanks in the loft and a hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard, making it a suitable option if you already have these additional components in place. Just so that you know, regular boilers are often called conventional, traditional or heat only boilers. Most regular boilers are ideal for properties with multi bathrooms and where water pressure is low. But, before you choose a boiler, you must find out the correct type and size for your home.
To find out if the Worcester Bosch Greenstar Danemoor Regular will meet your needs, you’ll need to consult an OFTEC registered engineer. A qualified heating professional can not only help you determine if this is the correct type of boiler for your home but they will also be able to tell you whether you should go with either the 18kW, 25kW or 35kW unit.
Is it a High Efficiency Boiler?
Every boiler in the Worcester Bosch Greenstar range is A-rated for efficiency, including the Greenstar Danesmoor Regular. What’s good about this particular model is that it can be used with an optional 7-day programmer and is compatible with Greenskies solar panels and Greenstore hot water cylinders to improve efficiency levels and help you save more money on your energy bills.
Does this Boiler have a Good Range of Controls and Features?
The heating controls are simple, and you can choose to use an optional plug-in programmer to make life even easier. It’s also quick and easy to service because the boiler comes with front access and a one-piece baffle. Perhaps one of the most impressive things about the Worcester Bosch Greenstar Danesmoor Regular is that it’s compatible with Bosch EasyControl, which allows you to monitor your energy use and control your heating and hot water from your phone.
How long is the Warranty on this Boiler?
You’ll receive a 2-year part and labour warranty as standard when you purchase the Greenstar Danesmoor Regular. It’s always worth checking the Worcester Bosch website for promotional offers because the brand sometimes offers extended warranties on its range of oil boilers.
