Boiler Energy Efficiency Credentials
Small and lightweight, the Greenstar Si Compact Combi is SEDBUK A rated with an official energy efficiency rating of over 90%. Not only is the boiler Energy Saving Trust recommended but it is also an environmentally friendly product thanks to its lox NOx and CO2 emissions. This model features a clever ECO mode to override the included ‘keep hot’ function so the boiler does not waste energy and only provides hot water only when it is needed. It also has a low energy pump to reduce electrical usage and is compatible with a huge range of optional Worcester controls to improve performance and efficiency. For example, when installed with a Wave smart internet connected control, the boiler achieves an A+ efficiency rating.
Greenstar Si Compact Combi Technology and Main Advantages
This high performing combi boiler features uncomplicated controls and a user-friendly display to allow you to effortlessly adjust heating temperatures and hot water. It has a ‘keep hot’ facility to ensure hot water is always available, along with the energy-saving ECO mode button we mentioned above.
Worcester Bosch has included frost protection so you don’t have to worry about frost risk if you decide to keep the boiler in your loft or garage. This appliance also comes with 7 pre-plumb connections to enable your installer to pre-plumb the boiler before it is placed on the wall, as well as a wall-mounting jig to help make installation quick and tidy.
And since this model is a combi, it can provide instant hot water because it heats water from the mains, rather than a water storage tank.
Is the Greenstar Si Compact Combi the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
There are actually two models within the Greenstar Si Compact Combi range, with the smaller providing a heat output of 25kW and the slightly larger delivering 30kW. Whilst the former offers 10.2 litres of hot water per minute, the more powerful of the two can produce 12.3. With this in mind, the 25Si combi is best suited to a small property with around 9 radiators and 1 bathroom, and the 30Si is ideal for a small to medium-sized home with up to 10 radiators and 1 bathroom. Please note that this information won’t be accurate for every property, and you must ask a Gas Safe engineer to assess your heating and hot water usage habits before spending any money on a new boiler.
