Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow 440CDI Overview

The Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow 440CDI is a combi boiler providing a constant supply of hot water. At the same time, its high output flow means it is capable of serving larger homes, including those with two bathrooms without facing pressure issues.

It is manufactured by arguably the most reliable and trusted brand on the market, Worcester Bosch boilers. They have all the top certifications, as well as excellent reviews on Trustpilot.

Furthermore, the Worcester Bosch company is honoured with the Royal Warrant for supplying goods to Her Majesty The Queen, which is a huge seal of approval in itself.

The high flow rate combi boiler also boasts frost protection features to reduce the associated weather threats significantly. This enables homeowners to consider the idea of installing the replacement boiler in the garage or cellar without the Worcester Highflow 440 having problems.

As a combi boiler with 92% efficiency, along with an A rating for heat and B rating for water, the running costs are very low too. This will help to justify the replacement boiler cost. 

 

Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow 440CDI Size & Appearance 

The size of the Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow 440CDI is particularly pleasing for homeowners working with smaller sizes.

The boiler measures 850mm x 600mm x 600mm, meaning it can fit either on or underneath a kitchen counter with ease.

Likewise, finding space in utility rooms shouldn’t be too hard, particularly as the required clearances are just 5mm to the side and 15mm above.

Worcester Bosch’s 440CDI model (like the more powerful Worcester Bosch 550CDI model) has a white casing, giving the appliance an understated look that will match the interior design of most rooms.

As a combi boiler, it pumps hot water directly from the mains, which means you avoid the need for a hot water storage cylinder or cold water tank like you would need with a regular boiler or system boiler.

Ultimately, the Worcester Bosch 440 CDi is a boiler and isn’t going to be the most attractive feature in the property.

As far as the best combi boilers are concerned, though, the simplistic design that also uses a panel to cover the control panels is as good as it gets from a sense of aesthetic appeal and practicality.

Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow 440CDI Performance 

The Worcester Bosch 440CDI isn’t the most powerful option in the Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow range.

The Worcester Greenstar Highflow 550CDI 30kW model which provides 25litres per minute is available as we mentioned before. However, the 440CDI offers more than enough flow to supply the average-sized home.

The Worcester 440CDi can simultaneously provide heating as well as water for two rooms (two bathrooms or a kitchen and a bathroom) with relative ease. Modulating control and integrated filling links aid the cause too.

An efficiency rating of 92% ensures that the performance of the gas-powered combi boiler is sure to reduce energy waste—this resulting in monthly savings on energy bills while also promoting a greener home.

Moreover, the Worcester Bosch brand (and, more specifically, this unit) will offer great reliability.

The combi boiler unit won’t only continue to work, but it’ll perform as expected while the addition of a Greenstar System Filter can prevent contaminations.

Regardless of which control systems are used, the Worcester Bosch Greenstar Highflow 440CDI model also notifies you to any faults with immediate responses while also offering clear indications of what the problem is.

The Worcester Highflow removes the guesswork and can allow users to fix basic errors while also making Gas Safe heating engineer diagnostics far quicker.

In addition to the standard two-year warranty, an official Worcester Bosch installation can extend the warranty to seven years. By upgrading and paying extra, you will have a heating engineer on hand in case any problems occur.

When supported by annual boiler servicing, the investment can be rewarded with years of reliable performance.
