Worcester 30i Combi Review
The Worcester 30i combi boiler is ideal for medium sized homes with low to medium hot water usage. If you do not have the required space for a hot water cylinder, the combi is a perfect option. Combi boilers like the Worcester Bosch 30i are the most popular type of boiler in the UK. You don’t need to pre-heat and store the hot water you intend to use, and you don’t have to worry about running out of hot water and having to wait for the cylinder to refill.
A combi boiler, such as the Worcester 30i combi boiler, takes the water directly from your mains supply when you turn the hot tap on, heating it as it passes through and sending it on to the tap or shower you are using. This means you have theoretically unlimited hot water at the turn of a tap. The only drawback with a combi boiler is a reliance on the mains water pressure means that it struggles when there are multiple hot water demands at the same time.
The fact that they Worcester 30i combi is also able to achieve an A+ energy rating is a further example of the power of this boiler. When using the smart controls made by Bosch, the added precision and ability to fine tune your use of central heating means that even less energy than usual is wasted and that you make even better savings on your utility bill.
Worcester 30i System Boiler Review
If you have more than two bathrooms or you regularly use multiple hot water products at the same time, then the Worcester Bosch 30i system boiler is the best bet. You will also need to install a hot water cylinder if you do not already have one in the home. The Worcester 30i system boiler preheats the water you will use, meaning it doesn’t rely on the water pressure from the mains to distribute the hot water around the house.
When you turn on the hot tap or the shower, you get hot water more quickly than with a combi boiler, as the system boiler has already heated it and stored it in the cylinder to use. Although multiple family members can use hot water at the same time, the amount of hot water available is limited to the size of the tank. Once it is empty, you have to wait for the cylinder to fill again before you can do the washing up, have a shower, wash your hands and so on.
This is why, when you install the Worcester 30i system boiler in your home, you have to make sure you choose the size of cylinder carefully. You don’t want something too big so that you regularly waste energy heating too much water, but you don’t want to be left without hot water when you need it.
Worcester Bosch 30i Price
The Worcester Bosch 30i price depends on a number of different factors. First of all, you need to pick between the Worcester 30i combi and Worcester 30i system boiler. If you pick the latter, you might have to also add in the cost of fitting a hot water cylinder if you do not already have one.
