Bosch Condens GC8700iW 30 P + WD 160 B + CT 200

Product detailed description

Consistently efficient

Saving energy can be this simple: the boiler automatically adjusts its output in the range of 10 to 100% to match the current heat demand in your home. This means it operates efficiently even when you don't need its full output.

 

High quality

The high quality of the Bosch brand is represented by the boiler's flawless workmanship and technical equipment, which includes both long-proven components and new modern features.

 

Easy operation

Operating the boiler is very intuitive. All parameters can be set using a colour touch display. In combination with the intelligent CT200 control, you can operate the Condens 8700i W boiler via the EasyControl app on your smartphone and tablet.

 

Fast and easy maintenance

The Condens 8700i W guarantees savings on all installation work. Access to the technical components is quick and easy thanks to the boiler's removable side casing. The front cover of the boiler can be removed by loosening a single screw.

BOSCH EASYCONTROL CT 200 - intelligent touch controller 

• Intelligent controller for 1 heating circuit and hot water preparation
• Ability to set important functions directly on the touch display, complete settings via the EasyControl app (for iOS, Android)
• Individual temperature setting in individual rooms using intelligent thermostatic heads
• Presence detection via GPS
• The controller cannot be combined with other controllers, e.g. CW 400
• colour: white

 

The EasyControl controller represents a revolution. The intelligent controller with an app allows you to easily control heating in every room, providing maximum comfort whenever and wherever you want.

 

Presence detection

EasyControl registers when you are at home and automatically adapts heating to your daily routine, without you having to do anything. This way, heating is only on when you actually need it. Saving energy can be this simple!

 

Individual room control

21 °C in the living room, 24 °C in the bathroom and 18 °C in the bedroom – with the EasyControl controller you can control them effortlessly. Simply enter the desired temperature for each room and that's it. The only additional technology needed is the Bosch smart radiator thermostat (Smart TRV).

 

Individual room control for underfloor heating is not yet supported.

 

Simply control water heating

EasyControl saves you money not only on heating, but also on hot water heating.

It offers three options:

• On: hot water is available at any time
• Automatic: water is heated according to a time schedule
• Off: the hot water function is switched off

 

Simply modulates

EasyControl supports burner modulation - ensuring the highest possible efficiency and increasing the service life of the heating unit.

 

Simple installation

The EasyControl controller does not need to be mounted on the wall. Simply use the desktop stand. You can place the intelligent EasyControl controller exactly where you want. All you have to do is plug the desktop stand into an outlet and insert the appropriate key into the corresponding slot on the heating appliance. Now the EasyControl controller can control your heating.

 

Simply exceptional

A slim, attractive design, glass surface with a touchscreen available in white and black, makes the EasyControl controller a stylish addition to any home.

 

The EasyControl controller will convince you not only with its attractive design, but also with its ability to save energy and heating costs. Winning the Safety and Energy Efficiency 2019 award confirms our product's contribution to a sustainable environment.

 

Easy operation

The EasyControl app, with which you can operate the controller effortlessly, is self-explanatory.

You will immediately be able to find your way around it and recognise its functions: Operating your

heating has never been this simple. And it doesn't matter whether you are at home or on the go.

 

Backlighting

The EasyControl controller communicates with you not only through the app, but also through its backlighting. As soon as you send a command to increase the temperature to the heating system, it lights up orange for one second, or conversely blue if you are lowering the temperature. If you leave home, the backlighting turns green, signalling that the heating has automatically switched to "away" mode. Red backlighting signals a fault in the heating system. If everything is working as it should, the backlighting remains off.

Frequently asked questions

• How exactly do I choose the output of a BOSCH condensing boiler? The basis is the calculated heat loss of the heated building (most reliably from project documentation or an energy certificate). If you don't have a project, you can roughly estimate approx. 60-100 W per m² of floor area for a normally insulated house built after 2000, or 100-150 W/m² for an older, non-insulated house - the exact figure varies depending on the number of floors, ceiling height, number and quality of windows, and building orientation. An oversized boiler switches on and off more often (so-called cycling), which shortens its service life and reduces efficiency; an undersized boiler, on the other hand, cannot sufficiently heat the house on freezing days.
• Why is a condensing boiler more economical than a conventional one? A condensing boiler also uses the heat hidden in the water vapour produced when burning gas - in a conventional boiler this leaves unused through the chimney, while in a condensing boiler it cools below the so-called dew point, the vapour condenses, and the released heat is returned to the heating circuit. Thanks to this, condensing boilers achieve an efficiency of approximately 105-110% relative to the calorific value of the gas, compared to a typical 85-92% for conventional boilers.
• What type of flue gas discharge does this boiler need? Most modern condensing boilers are so-called turbo boilers (with a sealed combustion chamber) and require a coaxial (concentric) or separate flue gas discharge and combustion air supply routed through the perimeter wall or roof - so they don't need a functional chimney. You can find the exact type and maximum length of the flue (according to a diameter of 60/100 or 80/125 mm) in the technical documentation for the specific model, or consult our customer service.
• What does the ErP energy class shown for the boiler mean? This is the mandatory efficiency labelling for heating appliances under the EU ErP (Ecodesign) directive, similar to the energy labels on refrigerators. Condensing boilers commonly achieve class A, or even higher in combination with room control (e.g. A+ when using weather-compensated control and a room thermostat).
• Can I install and connect this boiler myself? No. Connection to the natural gas supply, electrical network and flue gas discharge is by law reserved exclusively for a person with the appropriate authorisation (most commonly an authorised service technician of the given brand or a gas appliance inspection technician). After installation, the boiler must be commissioned by the manufacturer's authorised service, which is usually also a condition for the warranty to be valid.
• What about servicing and the warranty? Most manufacturers require a regular annual service inspection by an authorised service provider in order to keep the warranty valid even after its standard expiry (extended warranty with regular servicing is common especially for the Vaillant, Protherm and Viessmann brands). You will find the exact warranty conditions in the warranty card supplied with the boiler.
• What is included in the delivery of this specific product? The exact contents of the package (the boiler itself, possibly a hot water tank, room control and other accessories in the case of a set) are stated in the product name and in its technical parameters above on this page.
