When a holiday home loses its heating and hot water, it’s not just an inconvenience, it can affect bookings, let guests down, and become a logistical headache for owners who aren’t always nearby. We were recently called out to carry out a boiler installation in Burley, a charming village in the heart of the New Forest, Hampshire, after the property’s existing combi boiler broke down beyond repair.
About This Project
The property in Burley was a well-kept holiday home used regularly by the owner and occasionally let out to guests. When the boiler failed, it was clear from our initial assessment that repair wasn’t a viable option. The unit was old, inefficient, and parts were increasingly difficult to source. A full replacement was the only sensible path forward.
After discussing the options with the owner, we recommended and carried out a professional boiler installation of the Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDi Compact — a high-efficiency combi boiler that’s perfectly suited to a property of this size and usage pattern.
The scope of work included:
- Safe isolation and removal of the old failed boiler
- Installation of the new Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDi Compact combi boiler
- System flushing to remove sludge and debris and optimise performance
- Upgrading controls where necessary
- Full testing and commissioning of the new system
- Completion of all relevant certification and Gas Safe paperwork
One of the key reasons the owner was pleased with this choice was the peace of mind it brings. When installed by a Worcester Bosch Accredited Installer like us, the Greenstar CDi Compact comes with a 10-year guarantee — a significant benefit for a holiday home where reliability matters and the owner isn’t always on site to deal with problems.
This boiler installation in Burley was completed efficiently and with minimal disruption, leaving the property warm, fully functional, and ready for use.

For this particular project in Burley, the Greenstar CDi Compact was the standout choice. Here’s why:
1. Compact Design — Ideal for Smaller Properties As the name suggests, the CDi Compact is engineered to fit neatly into standard kitchen cupboards, making it a great option for holiday homes and cottages where space is often at a premium.
2. A-Rated Energy Efficiency This boiler is rated A for both heating and hot water efficiency, meaning it uses less fuel to deliver the same level of warmth and comfort — keeping running costs down for the owner.
3. Mains Pressure Hot Water As a combi boiler, it delivers hot water directly from the mains without the need for a storage cylinder or cold water tank. That means strong, consistent pressure in the shower and at the tap. which is exactly what guests expect.
4. Quiet Operation The Greenstar CDi Compact is designed to run quietly, which is particularly important in a holiday property where the boiler may be located close to living or sleeping areas.
5. Straightforward to Service Simple, well-engineered internals make annual servicing quick and cost-effective — an important consideration for any property owner managing ongoing maintenance costs.
6. 10-Year Guarantee When fitted by an accredited installer, the CDi Compact comes with an impressive decade-long warranty. For a holiday home in Burley, this offers exceptional long-term reassurance and protection on the investment.
