Worcester Bosch New Boiler Installation & Radiators

“Max started the work at our house on a new Worcester bosch boiler, complete system refurb and new radiators. The work was started on the date promised and finished within the time he’d set. Both prior to and during the installation, he kept me fully informed as to progress and was entirely flexible when I requested additional work, providing a revised quotation within a few hours. Work was to a high standard throughout and exactly as per his detailed estimate. Despite the potential for disruption, Max ensured that, at the end of every working day, the property was a tidy as he had found it. On completion of the work, Max provided me with a detailed description of the system. In summary, excellent!”

New Boiler Installation in Extension and Annual Boiler Servicing.

“Max Shutler has carried out various works for us over the past four years. He was first introduced to us by our builder as the plumber for installing a new boiler and radiators in an extension we had built. He did an excellent job and has been annually servicing the Worcester Bosch boiler ever since as an accredited install for Worcester Bosch. I will always be in his debt for rescuing me when I managed to drive a screw through a water pipe in the house! Within 20 minutes of making a call to him, he arrived and had completed the repairs within an hour, much to my relief!

Installed an Unvented Cylinder in a property we had just moved into in Wimborne, Dorset.

“We contacted Max Shutler Plumbing & Heating after we had just moved into a property in Wimborne, Dorset and found the water pressure to be terrible, making the ensuite unusable.

We’re really happy with the outcome and the water pressure in the house is now perfect. We would highly recommend Max Shutler Plumbing & Heating if you’re looking for a local plumber in Dorset. “

What exactly is a system boiler?

A system boiler is a particular kind of boiler that’s frequently found in bigger homes with higher heating and hot water demand. System boilers, as opposed to combi boilers, which can only heat water on demand, have a separate cylinder for storing water, allowing them to deliver a continuous supply of hot water throughout the house.

How does a system boiler work?

Because they are not connected to the cold mains, system boilers are entirely different from combi boilers. A coil inside the cylinder circulates hot central heating water through it, heating its contents and enabling simultaneous distribution of the heated water to numerous taps and showers. They can often heat all of your home’s radiators simultaneously with the cylinder, ensuring no loss of warmth.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a system boiler?

Pros of System Boilers

  • They work with a hot water cylinder that’s large enough to store plenty of hot water for when you need it.
  • You can programme your boiler to switch on at certain times to provide heat and hot water when you expect to need it.
  • System boilers may be energy-efficient since they can be used with solar thermal systems.
  • Since they don’t require a cold water tank, they are a popular option for people who wish to save money on storage or are thinking about a loft conversion.

Cons of System Boilers

  • More space needed than a combi boiler
  • You will have to wait to take a shower or a bath if you neglect to schedule your hot water because it does not heat up immediately.
  • System boilers are typically not the most affordable options on the market because of their size and various components.
  • Although they don’t require a tank, system boilers still require space for a sizable hot water cylinder and a separate boiler unit, so they might not be ideal for compact homes.

System Boiler Installation FAQs

Here are some of the most common questions we get asked regarding system boilers…

Are system boilers cheaper to run?

A combi boiler will be more efficient than a system boiler and so provide some savings if we compare the running costs. However, getting a combi boiler is useless, though if your home has higher than average energy needs, as it won’t be able to heat your home if it can’t supply the amount of hot water you require.

A system boiler installation can cost between £500 and £2000, depending on the model, size, and manufacturer.

For mid-range homes with slightly higher energy needs than homes with 1-2 bedrooms, an entry-level boiler is a good choice. Premium models, which may cost up to £1500, are a fantastic choice for homes with high heating needs.
