WORCESTER BOSCH GREENSTAR 30i

What is the Greenstar 30i?

The Greenstar 30i is a wall-mounted gas combi boiler and part of Worcester Bosch’s highly regarded Greenstar i range. Introduced in 2015 as a replacement for the popular 28i Junior, it quickly became one of the best-selling boilers in the UK, known for its reliability, straightforward controls and strong everyday performance.

As a combi boiler, it provides heating and instant hot water on demand directly from the mains without the need for a separate cylinder or storage tank. The 30i delivered improved flow rates over its predecessor, making it a practical choice for small to medium homes with one or two bathrooms.

The Greenstar i range won the Which? Best Buy award multiple times and consistently received high ratings from both homeowners and heating engineers. Discontinued in 2020 to 2021, it has been replaced by the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000.

When to consider replacing your Greenstar 30i

If your boiler is over 12 to 15 years old or experiencing repeated breakdowns, replacement is often the more cost-effective long-term decision. The Greenstar 30i has been replaced by the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000, which was built on the same trusted foundations as the i range but with improved efficiency, a longer warranty and updated controls.

The Greenstar 4000 30kW is the direct modern replacement for homes currently running a Greenstar 30i. It delivers better efficiency, a longer warranty and full compatibility with the Bosch EasyControl smart thermostat.

FAQs – Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30i

Is the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30i still available to buy?

No. The Greenstar 30i was discontinued in 2020 to 2021. The direct modern replacement is the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 30kW combi boiler, which offers improved efficiency and a longer warranty.

Can the Greenstar 30i still be serviced?

Yes. Parts remain widely available and our Gas Safe engineers service and repair all Greenstar i range models across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and West London. Annual servicing is recommended to maintain efficiency and safety.

What replaced the Greenstar 30i?

The Greenstar 30i was replaced by the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000. Built on the foundations of the i range, the 4000 offers up to 94% efficiency, smart control compatibility and up to a 10-year warranty when installed by a Platinum Accredited Installer.

How efficient is the Greenstar 30i?

The Greenstar 30i achieves 93% seasonal efficiency with an ErP A rating. The Greenstar 4000 matches or slightly improves on this, while offering a significantly longer warranty period.

What is the difference between the Greenstar 30i and the 30Si Compact?

Both models have the same central heating and hot water outputs. The key difference is size. The 30Si Compact was designed to fit inside a standard kitchen cupboard at 690mm x 390mm x 280mm, while the 30i was slightly larger at 700mm x 400mm x 330mm. If space is limited, the 30Si Compact was the better choice.

How long should a Greenstar 30i last?

With regular annual servicing, a well-maintained Greenstar 30i can last between 12 and 15 years. If your boiler is approaching or has exceeded this age, it may be worth considering a boiler replacement to avoid repeated repair costs.
