Choosing the Right Boiler

The size of a boiler is measured in kilowatts rather than the actual physical dimensions. Kilowatts are a measure of the power output from the boiler. Generally speaking, the larger the kilowatt output the more demanding your heating and hot water requirements tend to be. Worcester Bosch provide boilers for the entire spectrum, ranging from 9 kilowatts to 50 kilowatts.

When choosing the right boiler for you, begin by considering your heating and hot water needs, as different types of boilers are able to fulfil each homes necessary requirements. For example a combi-boiler provides heating and hot water on demand from the mains water supply, however if you have a large family or your home has more than one bathroom, a combi may struggle to provide the necessary amount. If you tend to use a large amount of hot water, a regular or system boiler may be a better match.  The information below shows the main boiler types, how they work and what kind of homes they work best in.

You should chose the boiler with the correct output for your home, there is no need or benefit of choosing a higher output than you need. To help find a boiler with the right output for your home, use our find a new boiler tool.
