The Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000+ System: The "V12" for Your Southwick Power-Showers

By Andrew Tyler, Prime Boiler Care (Horsham’s Finest Heat Engineers)

GOOD NEWS! If you live in one of those grand Southwick houses with more bathrooms than people, I have something that will make your heart beat faster. It’s the brand-new, just-launched Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000+ System boiler.

Now, usually, when a manufacturer adds a "plus" to the end of a name, it means they’ve changed the colour of the buttons and added £200 to the price. But not this time. Worcester Bosch has taken their flagship "Lifestyle" range—which was already the Rolls-Royce of the boiler world—and they’ve sent it to the gym.

The Power: It’s Not a Boiler, It’s a Power Station

In Southwick, we have some proper houses. Big ones. Houses where, on a Monday morning, you might have three showers, a dishwasher, and a hot tap all running at once. A standard boiler would simply curl up in a ball and cry.

The 8000+ System is available in outputs up to 35kW. Because it’s a system boiler, it works in tandem with your hot water cylinder. This isn’t a gentle stream of water; this is a high-pressure, skin-peeling deluge. It has enough "poke" to heat 20 radiators without even breaking a sweat. It’s the heating equivalent of a V12 engine—effortless, smooth, and endlessly powerful.

The Tech: The "Intelligent" Filling System

This is the clever bit. You know that annoying "F1" error code you get when your boiler loses pressure and you have to crawl into the airing cupboard to fiddle with a tap?

The 8000+ features an optional Intelligent Filling System. It monitors the pressure itself. If it drops, the boiler says, "I’ll handle this," and tops itself up automatically. It’s so smart it can even detect a leak and stop itself from over-filling. It’s a boiler with a brain.

The Looks: The Only Boiler You Won’t Want to Hide

Most boilers look like a piece of hospital equipment. But the 8000+ Style version (the fancy sibling of the Life model) comes in a high-gloss black or white finish with a full-colour touchscreen display.

It looks like it was designed by Apple. If you’re putting this in a modern kitchen in Southwick, you don't hide it in a cupboard. You leave it on display so your neighbours can see you’ve bought the best.

The Verdict

Is it overkill for a one-bed flat? Yes, absolutely. It would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. But if you have a busy family home and you value reliability, power, and a 12-year guarantee, this is the only choice.

It’s built in Britain (Worcester, funnily enough), it’s Hydrogen-ready, and it is, quite simply, the most muscular wall-hung system boiler on the market today.

The Prime Boiler Care Score: 9.5 out of 10. It only misses a 10 because I’m still waiting for them to make one that makes me a coffee in the morning.
