Worcester Bosch Greenstar Utility Regular Boilers
You will need to spend between £2,142.12 and £2,268.00 (including VAT and excluding installation) on a Worcester Bosch Greenstar Utility Regular Boiler.
Designed for installation in a utility area or dedicated plant room, the Greenstar Utility Regular is a conventional boiler that is part of Worcester Bosch’s oil-fired condensing boiler range.
It measures 1012mm (H) x 520mm (W) x 815mm (D) and is quite large compared to many other appliances of its type but it does provide two very powerful outputs of 50kW and 70kW. You also need to be aware that this is a floor standing boiler that requires a cold water tank and hot water cylinder.
By being a high output solution, the Greenstar Utility Regular is suitable for very large homes and light commercial properties. It comes with a standard 2-year manufacturer warranty and will set you back anything between £2,142.12 and £2,268.00, depending on your chosen boiler output.
Boiler Energy Efficiency Credentials
This floor standing boiler by Worcester Bosch is over 88% efficient, making it a SEDBUK A rated appliance. It actually recycles its exhaust gases and extracts the latent heat from these exhausts to minimise wasted energy. As fewer emissions are released and less fuel is required to generate heat energy, the Greenstar Utility Regular is an environmentally-friendly boiler that can cut your energy bills by between 5% and 10%. For greater energy and cost savings, you can choose to use the boiler with Worcester’s very own Greenskies solar panels.
Greenstar Utility Regular Technology and Main Advantages
Although not ideal for kitchen installations, the Greenstar Utility Regular is solar compatible and can be used with Worcester’s Greenstore cylinders for a boost to water performance – even if your mains water pressure is low. The boiler is also suitable for Worcester Greensource air to water heat pumps, which help to deliver greener and lower cost heating and hot water.
This appliance is extremely quiet when doing its job and features concealed controls to prevent young children from interfering with boiler temperatures. An optional magnetic system filter is available as well, which helps to protect the boiler and tackle any potential effects of pollutants and debris.
And as we mentioned above, the boiler maintains its efficient performance by recycling and extracting heat energy from exhaust gases that would otherwise be wasted.
Is the Greenstar Utility Regular the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
The Greenstar Utility Regular is perfectly suited to large homes and light commercial sites with a high heating and hot water requirement. It’s also ideal for properties with multiple bathrooms and is compatible with older radiators and pipework. Even though this boiler will allow you to use multiple taps and showers at any one time, the use of hot water is limited to the size of your cylinder so keep this mind when deciding which boiler to purchase. To be on the safe side, you should always ask a qualified heating engineer for advice to help you work out whether this boiler will meet your needs both now and in the future.

Our Honest Opinion of the Worcester Bosch Greenstar Utility Regular
As you’ve probably already worked out, this boiler requires a reasonable amount of space especially since it must be installed in homes and businesses with a separate cold water cistern and hot water cylinder. If you do not already have these sited at your property, it will be cheaper to upgrade to a different type of boiler such as a combi rather than a new heat only boiler.
Like with all boilers in the Greenstar System Series, this appliance is simple install and boasts high-efficiency levels for lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. In addition to this, the boiler is whisper quiet in operation so you will not hear a peep out of this one.
If you have a large house with a traditional heating and hot water system and your family uses a lot of hot water at the same time, this boiler will not disappoint. We’re also pleased to see that Worcester Bosch has included concealed boiler controls to prevent small children getting their hands on any switches and dials.
