Size – Is The Greenstar CDi Compact A Good Fit For Your Home?
As the name suggests, the Worcester Bosch Greenstar CDi Compact combi boiler is designed to live in a kitchen cupboard and is suitable for a small-medium and large-sized home.
While taking up little space this is a very powerful boiler range.
The Greenstar 32CDi compact reviewed with measurements of 390mm in width by 690mm in height and 280mm in depth.
As said before the boiler will be wall-mounted in a kitchen cupboard but still providing sufficient clearance for ventilation and servicing.
The Worcester Bosch 32 CDi compact boilers heat water directly from the mains meaning there is no need for a cold water tank or hot water cylinder like you have with Worcester Bosch regular boilers and system boilers.
Meaning with the Worcester bosch 24CDi, the Worcester Bosch 32CDi combi boiler, the Worcester Greenstar 36CDi and the Greenstar 30Si combi boiler that you get great performance central heating systems without sacrificing a large portion of your house.
The impressive flow rate of up to 14.7 litres a minute should be more than sufficient to provide hot water to multiple outputs at once, such as hot water to the kitchen and utility room taps at the same time.
This output flow rate should also be fine for one to two bathrooms with a shower or bath installed in one of them and taps in both.

This boiler offers a wide choice of Bosch easycontrol, depending on your needs and personal preferences.
There are programmable thermostat options, which allow you to control your boiler heating bills, save money, heating and hot water remotely through a choice of interfaces- Mechanical, Comfort, Sense and Easy.
