Worcester Bosch 18kw boiler

Parveen Bacchus 26/08/2025 - 8.13 AM

I have a 4 bedroom house with 8 radiators in total and 2 bathrooms. Is 18kw boiler big enough for an unvented 210L cylinder?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

For a typical UK 4-bed with 8 rads, an 18 kW system boiler is big enough for both heating and a 210 L unvented cylinder. If you want faster hot-water recovery (e.g., lots of back-to-back showers), step up to ~24 kW only if the cylinder coil can absorb it; otherwise you gain nothing. *however this is all based on best case scenarios eg correct levels of insulation and so on.

Dear Customer I believe you are referring to a system/regular 18 kw boiler. Yes this would be sufficient if it’s an existing installation. Hope this helps. Thank you
