The Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow CDi Combi is a SEDBUK A-rated floor-standing boiler that is designed for large homes with two bathrooms.
When it comes to floor-standing combination boilers, they don’t come much better than the Greenstar Highflow CDi Combi by the UK’s favourite boiler brand Worcester Bosch. Like each of the boilers in the Greenstar gas-fired range, this high-performance model has even won a Which? Best Buy award. If you live in a large home with multiple bathrooms, the impressive Greenstar Highflow CDi Combi boiler with industry-leading hot water flow rates could be the ideal choice.
How Much Does this Boiler Cost?
As always, the cost will depend on the size (heat output) of the boiler. The Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow CDi Combi comes in two versions of 440CDi and 550CDi with outputs of 29kW and 30kW respectively, so you’ll need to find out which size is best for your home before knowing how much cash you’re going to need to spend. However, we can tell you that the 440CDi unit is approximately £2,053.68 and the 550CDi version is around £2,447.70. These guide prices do include VAT but not the cost of installation.
How will I know if this Boiler is Suitable for My Home?
As the Greenstar Highflow CDi is a combination (combi) boiler, it produces hot water on demand and doesn’t require any additional components. Because it takes water directly from the mains, you won’t need a hot water storage cylinder in the airing cupboard or tanks in the loft. The 29kW unit will supply 20 litres of water per minute, while the 30kW version will provide 25 litres per minute. Most combi boilers are suitable for smaller homes, but this fabulous piece of technology is available in large heat outputs and can meet the heating and hot water requirements of a medium or large property with two bathrooms.
The most sensible thing you can do to determine whether or not the Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow CDi Combi or any other gas-fired boiler is suitable for your home is to ask a Gas Safe registered engineer. A qualified heating professional will be able to assess your home and needs to help you choose the right boiler type, size and model.
Is it a High Efficiency Boiler?
It certainly is. The Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow CDi is, in fact, an A-rated floor-standing gas-fired condensing combi boiler with an ErP rating over 90% for efficiency. In addition to achieving the highest possible efficiency rating, this model is recommended by the Energy Saving Trust. What does this mean for you, the homeowner? Well, by replacing an old inefficient boiler with this energy efficient model, you’ll save a chunk of money on your energy bills.
Does this Boiler have a Good Range of Controls and Features?
Yep. The Greenstar Highflow CDi Combi has concealed user controls including separate central heating and hot water temperature controls, as well as a reset button, system pressure gauge and on/off switch. This model is also compatible with a range of Worcester Bosch optional controls, such as programmable room thermostats and the internet-connected Bosch EasyControl that lets you effectively control and monitor your heating and hot water use from a smart device or phone. Boiler features include frost protection, a roll-in tray and built-in condensate pump and filling link.
