How to Operate Worcester Greenstar Life 8000 Combination Boiler, Most efficient Settings and More

[@philiplbrown]

Superb video. I had this same boiler installed and I usually avoid all things gadgets, knowing I don't want to call a heating engineer out every time something goes wrong. Your video was very concise and easy to follow.

[@scathachmuirisc7149]

Thank you for your brilliantly clear instructions. That's the first time I've had to raise the pressure and you made it so easy...

[@davidcritchley3509]

Compared to the electric heating system. This is a lot more complicated. Gas Central Heating is not recommended.

[@eldonhughes6780]

This video just helped a lot. I had low pressure and couldn’t find a decent video anywhere. This made it so clear. Thanks

[@johnbooth1556]

The best video I have seen in the operation of the bolier. Many thanks.

[@jameshenderson5385]

Just had mine installed together with the whole house heating system, all with a 12 year guarantee..

[@RhodaLowman]

Yes, most helpful video I've found so far!

[@pb871]

Great video Mark, very clear and informative! I have an older WB combi boiler and the pressure topping up method on yours is far easier than using the fiddly plastic key (which is a real PITA) on mine. It's nice to know I'm doing pretty much everything you've mentioned in terms of running my boiler efficiently. 🙂

[@waynenixon729]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I'm at college learning plumbing NVQ. Your one of the top heating channels on KZbin.

[@desgardner7169]

Thank you I just wish the fitters could have explained it better than they did, we have had the boiler 12 months now and so far it has not performed any better than the old Worcester boiler which was not broken in any way when they took out, our yearly service is about to happen and hopefully all will be ok, at the mo I must press the eco button and leave it on! Once again thank you!

[@WindlePoones]

An excellent instructional video. Clear and concise. I learnt a lot. Thanks for posting.

Hi Mark. Ive been checking out your videos on my New Worcester Greenstar 4000 boiler and The Honeywell control unit. This morning my water and heating is not working. Ive increased the pressure to 0.9 but wont increase any more. the flame indicator light is not coming on when i turn the tap on as though its not igniting. Any help would be appreciated thankyou

[@markbarlow9955]

Which video is it that explains how to fix the stuck check valve issue with the boiler top up? Thanks

[@aftermath_euphoria]

Great video! We've recently had one of these installed and was worried great, but in the last week on eco mode the water will heat up and almost immediately start cooling down again so we're not getting consistent hot water when we want to do the dishes or run a bath. Any advice?

[@nancygranata4788]

Hello Mark, I have a Tado thermostat when I switched it off I realised that the boiler was still heating the radiators . I have a Green Star 2000. I switched it off manually but when switched it on again the boiler continued to heat the house up. Is there a way to switch the radiators off from this boiler please without using the Tado? And what do you think is causing this issue ? Thank you very merry ch in advance! Nancy

[@ghazalapaul6440]

I dont have the blue lever, or the 2 tap symbols. Can someone reply...my boiler is only 1 year old, and its Worcester,

[@jamesmclaughlin5017]

Can I switch my greenstar 4000 on at the boiler... the engineer set it up for thermostate on off as regards heating... on the salus guage there is 'manual' setting is that the key.. its a bit of a pain running up the stairs to turn the heating on at the thermostate.. regards

[@adamamos-stone4609]

Hi Mark. I need to repressurise my Greenstar 8000 Life and it does not have a blue valve handle as shown in your video. What are my options?

[@m4rt1984]

Hi , for a good week or so my boiler kept coming on outside of programmed hours heating my radiators after searching the internet the information that was given kept telling me there was a fault with the system. However, after coming across your video, it turns out that the eco function was not showing so with this now on showing it displayed its now a waiting game to see if it turns on in the middle of night which it as been doing , just a quick question though although the boiler is pre heating , surely my radiator should not be warming up should it not just be the boiler?

[@Kimberley772]

I’ve moved into a rented property with this boiler, I can’t find the menu to set up the programmer?

[@orpheusjones7313]

Does a lower temperature reduce the ridiculously loud noises when the heating is on?

[@ryanstewart3640]

Any idea how to turn the water on? Mine is set to off for some reason at the moment and I can't seem to get it to come on

[@dfslicker1]

I have just had one of these boilers fitted, but now my old room thermosate has been taken away, so no longer have one is this correct.

[@kiranzain]

What if the water tank temperature is set at 61 degrees to kill.off bacteria can the temperature on the boiler still be set lower at 55?

[@npmallmail]

Do these boilers not have a timer function? Do have to turn heating down manually every night then up again in the morning?

[@steveforster3420]

Great video I just applied these to my new greenstar 8000 style..have you a video on the neomitis little box that is usually positioned next to and wired into the boiler as I have an orange override light that comes on? Not the thermostat but it a white box like a socket but has rf test amd override on it..hmm..

hi mate,just arrived from holiday,before I went on holiday I switch off the main power on my worcester bosch boiler,after a week holiday,when I switch on ,there is no power coming .please can you help,many thanks

i had this boiler recently instaled never understood why is there 3 settings for 1 thing lol why cant they just make a boiler 1 button i want my home and water this hot if only mine is a worchester greenwood 4000 what settings would you advise for it thank you , advide fir it

[@nattyco]

The user manual says you need to fit an optional integral diverter valve to control the hot water temperature. What is this?

[@itanamullik]

Is there no way to just turn the hot water off compleatly over night ? The same like the heating just has an off option on the thermostat. Or would it need to be on pre heat mode and create a time table

[@markbarlow9955]

Put it into eco mode. It stops the pre heat and boiler should be off if no CH running.

[@stephenbrown3050]

Hi Mark, Great video 👏🏻 I have a question: is it possible to completely turn off the WB 8000 Life boiler?

[@Loki-hc3vy]

Trying t reset the boiler, but there is no blue lever. What do I do?

[@lozzaj4529]

Same problem here, no blue handle

[@cathalgriffin5859]

The installation engineer may have fitted a valve, or two in my case, to the boiler feed-in. It is below the boiler, not within the casing. Open the valve/s, and that will increase the water pressure. I did this a few minutes ago, and it worked.

[@waynehardiman5443]

What does the -60- mean can’t find a fault code for that

[@JaggaG1]

How do you turn heating mode off?

[@antomarlin]

Thanks for this Video, It is a great video. I was wondering if i can read the KWH used by the boiler. is this data available. My Gas meter isn't working so would like to know how much KWH of gas is used

[@kalimvanat3589]

Great video. Couple.of.points if you can advise Ive got radiator icon but not tap icon How can I read the pressure as it's showing me 3 dash lines not figure

[@alexthorpe2522]

I just had one of these installed to my existing hot water tank and thermostat/ timer set up. The boiler is on eco mode and I have the hot water and radiator temperatures set low. The boiler will come on and heat water to keep it around 65 degrees on the screen. I notice Mark's is at 28 degrees. It's driving me mad. Everything is set to OFF but it still fires up every so often.

[@MahmoudMiri]

Thanks for the video. Is there a way to turn the radiator/heating mode off and only use the hot water functionality please?

[@luvabhi3]

Can't figure one. However, if you set the radiator temperature to the lowest settings i.e 30 degrees and thermostat to lowest; heating will probably never come on!

How do you lower the water pressure when you have filled too much?

[@blahblahblah742]

I need to know that too!

[@essanjay8604]

We've just moved into a house with one of these boilers. The previous owners had the radiator temp set at 60 but we noticed every radiator in the house was turned up to maximum. During the extreme cold snap last week we upped the radiator temp to 65 but adjusted each room to 3 or 4 max. The main problem we have is that the main house thermostat which is located at the bottom of the staircase (stairs lead off living room) never comes near reaching the temperature set - the highest we've ever seen it reach is around 15 so if we set it at 20 degrees the boiler is chugging away constantly. All very confusing for the average Joe!

[@lynneberry6495]

Similar story here with my new WBosch.. Haven't figured it out... I want my old 18 year old boiler back!!

[@essanjay8604]

@@lynneberry6495 Yeah I understood the old boilers with a simple dial!

[@peternumber19]

That the whole system goes off when it reaches hall temp confuses me. We set the hall at 15 as we don't want it too warm. If you set the hall at 20 and then set the room settings it should let it do what it wants to, perhaps. We have each room different and turn them on and off when we're not using them.

[@essanjay8604]

@@peternumber19 In our previous house the engineer who serviced the boiler advised setting the hall temperature at 21 because that heats the core of the house and a well insulated house (we had cavity wall insulation and triple glazing) will then remain warmer for longer. It definitely worked very well for us. Keeping the door to every room shut and turning radiators off in certain rooms doesn't really work in a busy household particularly in the holidays with kids constantly moving from room to room up and down stairs.

[@cathalgriffin5859]

Having the thermostat in the hall gives a baseline for the house temp. It works best when you have thermostats on all your room's radiators. Rooms infrequently used could be set to frost, and main rooms set to a suitable temp. It is trial and error. Set the hall thermostat temp highish. When the boiler cuts off, i.e. the hall temp reaches the set temp, go to each room and see if the temp is where you would like it. Those set to frost will be cold. You can then assess the other rooms temperatures. If they are warmer than you want, simply turn them down. Wait an hour or so and do another check. You will eventually be able to set all your rooms to the desired temperatures.

When I press the tap to adjust the hot water, it just shows dotted lines on the display. Does anyone know why that is? Thanks!

[@TenshiR]

[@djvertical]

When turning the hot tap on, what’s the average time to get hot water out of the tap? Currently it’s taking me about a minute. I’ve tried having eco on and off, and having the water at the highest temp and makes no difference. Any thoughts?

[@christopherbovingdon6567]

It depends on the distance between the boiler and the tap. When the tap is turned off, the water between tap and boiler will cool down. When the tap is turned on again that cooler water needs to be cleared before the freshly heated water appears.

[@allanb2906]

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge of this boiler. Would you consider doing an in depth look at the WB easy control? There are some functions such as WDC that aren't really explained by WB. Also I'm confused if the water pre-heat (eco mode off) can be "timed" when using the easy control.

[@Geraldo-xr3vz]

Hi Mark. Thanks for the vid. Just one question……. I understand you can turn the radiators off on the boiler, which I’m told is ‘summer mode’. Apparently, when the boiler is in summer mode, there is a diagonal bar through the on screen radiator symbol in the top left of the boiler screen. How can I activate this summer mode, as there’s no instruction on how to do it in the Worcester users manual. However, it does mention it ! Many thanks Mark.
