Who are Worcester Bosch?

Worcester (as they were originally just known by) has been manufacturing gas boilers for over 50 years. They merged with another reputable company which obviously gives them the second part to their name.

With both these companies working together and their wealth of knowledge and manufacturing expertise, you could say that they know how to make a very good energy efficient boiler!

High efficiency, super reliable boilers giving you instant heating and hot water output. The 8000 range is engineered from years of experience in the boiler market, with Worcester Bosch being one of the leading and best boiler brands in the industry.

Worcester Bosch 8000 combi boiler deals

Don’t worry, and you’re not on your own, most new customers don’t have a clue, because hopefully we only ever buy boilers as and when we need them unless you’re an engineer or a boiler salesman your not going to know that much about them!

Although, if a boiler lasts 10 years, even if you live to seventy, you will have bought at least 5 replacement boilers!

If you want an even scarier thought, the average Worcester Bosch boiler replacement quote for install costs around £2,000.

So you could have easily spent £10,000 of your hard-earned cash over the years just on keeping your home warm on top of your gas bills!

Worcester Bosch 8000 Lifestyle range  – Black or White?

Ever thought about having a boiler that is part of your kitchen. And when we say part, we don’t mean hidden away in a kitchen cupboard.

We mean that times have changed and Worcester Bosch has designed them to be seen. And don’t worry about noise either, they are made to not be heard!

Sleek new modern designs to make them more attractive to the stylish buyer. We love the look of the black ones. We still aren’t convinced the white stylish ones could quite be pulled off in a kitchen, but each to their own.

Anyway, to the important bits, the Worcester Bosch 8000 Lifestyle range consists of 5 energy-efficient combi boilers and 2 energy-efficient system boilers.

The Greenstar 8000 Life and Style combi boiler ranges from 30kw to 50kw. Most homes in the UK will only require boilers towards 30kW but they have clearly catered for every home need.

What is the difference between the 8000 Life and Style?

To add even more confusion to the boiler buying process, or pleasure depending on how you look at it, Worcester has given you the option of having choosing the 8000 boiler in Life or Style. Basically, this is saying to you, do you want your boiler in a cupboard or visible on the wall?

• The Worcester Life is available in white,
• The Worcester Style is available in white and black
• The Worcester Life has an LCD display, whereas the Style is a full touchscreen
• Both can be controlled by Worcester Bosch smart thermostats and phones
• Both are the UK’s most powerful combi boilers available

If you just want all the benefits of this top-of-the-range boiler then just go for the Life. But, if you want a top-of-the-range boiler and intend on flaunting it in your kitchen or utility then choose the Style range.

This will mean you get everything that life has, as it is the same boiler, but with a sleek high gloss white or black finished casing.

Worcester 8000 power: Is it powerful?

No stone has been left unturned with the new Greenstar 8000. Not only have they hit the ball out of the park with the look of their new heating system, but they’ve also smashed it out of the park with the performance.

So quiet is the new Worcester boiler that you can have it in your living space. It will be softly keeping your home warm and be no noisier than your fridge keeping your beer or wine cool at the same time.

Warranty length of the Worcester 8000 boiler

If you think that all this is too good to be true and the Greenstar 8000 Style can’t be that good, then the fact that they are throwing a 10-year warranty in with it as well just shows how well Worcester Bosch know it is made.

Not only is this helping you have confidence in buying this quality boiler, but it is also letting you know that you have at least 10 years of peace of mind, warmth, and hassle-free living. From your boiler’s point of view anyway.

Is the Worcester 8000 a smart boiler?

As we move into the future of artificial intelligence, voice control, and humans generally doing a lot less when it comes to technical and physical chores, it was only natural that boilers would go the same way.

The Greenstar is the iPhone of boilers. It has been developed and engineered to do pretty much everything for you with ease. Super easy to use touch buttons and colour displays, like a smartphone.

Self-checking system and wireless controls too so there’ll be no need to check your boiler if you need to fill the water pressure back up. It will do it itself!

You’ll be connected to your new boiler more than ever. Who knew boilers could be so “exciting.”  

Control the Worcester Bosch 8000 with the Easycontrol thermostat

You’ll of heard of Hive or Nest and other similar smart thermostat home heating controls whereby you can control your heating from your mobile phone, laptop, tablet, or Smart Speaker.

Bosch EasyControl is Worcester Bosch Greenstar’s own smart operating system.

If you like the thought of being able to control your home heating system from your car just as you are about to leave work on a frosty evening then this is perfect for you.

All you would have to do is download the Bosch EasyControl app to your phone or other devices and you are on your way.

Can you use the Worcester 8000 with solar panels? 

Do you have solar panels? Did you know that if you choose a Greenstar 8000 system boiler you can connect your solar panels up to it and it’s the heating tank? Well yes, you can.

This would basically mean during the day you can use any energy generated from the sun through your solar panels would be used to heat up your water!

This basically means that you get some form of free heating for your home. Who wouldn’t want that? It can offset the new boiler cost paid for your 8000 on installation.

This is not a new thing but is definitely what is going to happen in the future. I wouldn’t go as far as to say gas boilers will be a thing of the past as there are too many of them and they work, but solar-powered heating systems are definitely coming to a lot of homes in the UK.

Choosing the right size Worcester 8000 boiler for your home

There is about £1,000 difference between the least powerful boiler, the Greenstar 30kW, and the most powerful one, the 50kW, so make sure that you get the right boiler for your home.

The lowest-priced one will be around £1,200 and the highest price of around £2,000.

These prices are just for the boiler without installation. This is where you really need to speak to an expert if you aren’t sure. It could cost you over £1,000 for some power that your home just does not need.

If you want to spend a little less then you have the option of the Worcester 4000 boiler which is their mid-range boiler and one of the best-selling boilers in the UK. There is also an ever cheaper option in the Worcester 2000 combi boiler which is their attempt at taking over the lower end of the market too.

Do your research – Or make it easy for yourself and get a fixed price online now by getting a quote:

There is a wealth of information on the internet to advise what size boiler should go in what size home. In short, a 2 bed terraced will only need the £1,200 30kW Greenstar Combi.

A 3-bed semi with 2 bathrooms will probably need a mid-range combi. whereas, a 5 bedroom house with 3 bathrooms will probably need a Greenstar system boiler! ( one with a tank) to cope with the demand.

All in all, we hope this has been an insight into the brand new Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000 range and helped you on your way to making a big decision!
