Modern Bosch brand heating boilers are in high demand due to their high level of reliability and quality. The manufacturer offers various modifications of boilers, ranging from standard gas and ending with practical solid fuel. Equipment of this type has its own characteristics and technical characteristics that must be taken into account during installation and maintenance. It is worth exploring the available lineup in advance and choosing the best option for yourself.
Overview and varieties of Bosch boilers
The Bosch brand has existed on the market for more than a hundred years and during this time has managed to gain popularity in 150 countries of the world. Heating units of this brand are known for efficiency, compact size and the absence of difficulties during operation. Each category of devices has its advantages and disadvantages.
Gas
The Bosch gas boiler is divided into two types: with an open and closed combustion chamber. Modifications of the first type require a natural flow of air that comes from the room. It is important that in the room where the device is located, high-quality ventilation and a chimney with working draft are installed. It is also necessary to remember the fire safety rules. Units with a closed chamber are supplemented by a burner; air is supplied to them by a fan. They don’t need draft because the fan destroys the products of combustion. Closed gas boilers have good performance and do not harm the environment.
Electric
The Bosch electric boiler is considered the ideal choice for apartments. Models of this type are safe, do not require large expenses and time for maintenance. Their work is carried out due to an electric heater made of copper and a heat exchanger made of steel. They are able to heat the room with high quality, while they do not need additional equipment. Such options are dual-circuit, their power starts from 9 kW.
Solid fuel
These boilers are used as backup options and operate on coal, peat or wood. Their functionality is based on a circular system with an autonomous mode. Many modifications of this type from Bosch are equipped with automatic fuel supply, the stock of which is designed for a week.

Electric water heaters
Electric water heaters are designed to heat water in the home and can be installed in the bathroom or in the kitchen. Innovative models from the manufacturer are characterized by ease of management, advanced functionality and a high level of reliability. They can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on the type of construction.
Single-circuit and double-circuit
The single-circuit and double-circuit gas or electric boiler Bosch is suitable for a private house. The equipment of the first type consists of one heat exchanger with a built-in piping, complemented by an expansion tank and a circular pump. These are reliable units, but you need to remember that they do not heat water without additional equipment.
Double-circuit appliances are capable of simultaneously heating rooms and heating water. In size, they practically do not differ from single-circuit analogs, the differences between them are only in functionality and internal details. Such boilers are equipped with two heat exchangers.The Bosch double-circuit boiler is heated by water from the heating circuit, which circulates through a heat exchanger. These units can be bithermic and operate according to the standard principle, while the second heat exchanger is inside the first.
According to experts, models with two heat exchangers are not reliable. It is recommended to choose standard options for home with simple functionality.
Boiler design and specifications
The main feature of Bosch boilers is a high level of quality, each product passes a series of tests and controls in a special laboratory. This ensures the safety of all appliances that come off the assembly line. The structure of the brand’s devices depends on the specific model, but each device as a whole works on the same principle. In the unit there is a heat generator, consisting of an outer lining and a housing, inside of which there are combustion chambers and channels for heat exchange.
On top or on the front side of each boiler there is a receiving door with a furnace compartment into which materials are loaded. During combustion, fuel releases energy transmitted to water through heat exchange. The remaining fuel enters the ash pan, after which the removal of flue gases to the pipe is carried out using chimney channels. Gas and solid fuel devices work differently, the principle of their operation depends entirely on the type of fuel.
Advantages and disadvantages
Wall-mounted and floor-standing boilers of long burning, including the standard type, have their advantages and disadvantages. The main plus of all devices from the Bosch brand is the high level of quality. The list of other benefits includes:
- the ability to use several types of fuel;
- affordable prices;
- increased efficiency up to 76-85%;
- developed network of service centers;
- reduced cost of heat;
- long term of operation from 12 to 20 years;
- independence from gas pipelines and electric networks.
Of the minuses of the brand’s devices, a short period of burning the bookmarks is noted. For this reason, the furnace must be replenished every two to four hours. In addition, boilers are sensitive to fuel quality. If you constantly use low-quality raw materials, they will very quickly fail.
Installation of Bosch boilers
The installation of the device is best trusted by specialists with the appropriate qualifications and experience. To place the unit, it is necessary to allocate a separate non-residential premises for it, in which there should be ventilation. The equipment is installed so that an interval of at least 0.6 m and 1 m in front is maintained on the side and on the back side of it. A foundation is prepared for the device from concrete or a non-combustible platform, the base of which should protrude outside the boiler. All components must be connected to a specific model according to the instructions.
Wall mounted
Wall-mounted boilers are more popular because they are compact in size and not difficult to operate. They are easy to install due to their light weight, their fasteners hold the device well, regardless of design, even with additional elements. The installation of such units is also better to entrust to specialists.
Popular Bosch boiler models
Manufacturers and buyers have included several units in the list of the most popular Bosch boiler models.
Bosch Gaz 6000 W It operates on the basis of a modulated burner and a copper heat exchanger. The boiler is supplemented by a display, electronic control and a self-diagnosis system.
A more powerful option is Bosch Gaz 4000 W with power up to 24 kW and gas filter.
Another famous model is Bosch Solid 2000 Bsuitable for heating rooms with an area of 60 to 450 sq.m.It is used as an independent and backup unit in heating systems with circulation according to the mechanical or gravity type.
