The Greenstar CDi compact releases condensed flue gases via a CondenseSure siphon, in cyclical bursts to reduce blockages stemming from a frozen condensate pipe.
Compact Size
The smallest model in the CDi range, the sleek design of the compact means it can be easily wall mounted or fit into a standard kitchen cupboard.
The CDi compact is ideally suited to heat small properties but does have the power outage and flow rate in its 36kW capacity to sufficiently heat a medium sized home.

Combi Boiler
Benefits Of Combi Boilers
Combi boilers are a popular choice for a number of reasons. Unlike conventional boilers, combi (combination) boilers link a home’s central heating system and water heating; no separate hot water tank is needed which is cleaner as it avoids potential rust or debris build up.
This allows a compact boiler which could fit into a standard kitchen cupboard or be wall mounted, to thoroughly heat a home without stealing lots of space.
Combi systems are also easier to service or for boiler replacement due to their popularity, meaning greater availability.

Aluminium Heat Exchanger
The CDi compact comes as standard, as do all Worcester Bosch boilers, with an aluminium heat exchanger.
Although initially efficient, aluminium is far more susceptible to corrosion compared to stainless steel heat exchangers. Heat exchangers can become faulty over time, but this is a relatively simple fix.
Smart Thermostat
The Greenstar CDi compact is fully compatible with smart thermostats like the Worcester Bosch easy control system.
This means thanks to the brainy bunch who manufactured your new boiler, it can be easily controlled at the touch of a button for rapid regulation and optimisation.

iHeat New Boiler Costs
Boilers can be a daunting purchase for many people as they’re an appliance with a lot of responsibility, providing heat for you and your family is something you want to get right. Boilers aren’t exactly a quickly disposable item either, potentially lasting you a decade.

Installation Type | Price (inc VAT) | |
