Glow-Worm Compact Combi — Key Features
Despite its compact footprint, this boiler punches well above its weight. Here’s what makes it stand out:
Two output sizes to suit a range of home types. The 24kW is ideal for smaller homes with one bathroom; the 28kW suits medium-sized homes with higher hot water demand.
Achieving 92% (24kW) and 93% (28kW) ErP efficiency, the Compact Combi helps keep energy bills down without compromising on performance.
At just 626 × 400 × 270mm, this is Glow-Worm’s lightest boiler ever. It fits neatly into a standard kitchen cupboard, freeing up space elsewhere in the home.
The clear, intuitive LCD screen makes it easy to adjust settings, check status, and spot any issues — no need to call an engineer for simple adjustments.
Sound power levels of just 52dB(A) (24kW) and 54dB(A) (28kW) make this one of the quietest boilers in its class — ideal if it’s located in a bedroom, hallway, or living space.
Every new Glow-Worm Compact Combi comes with a free 5-year manufacturer’s guarantee straight out of the box — no registration hoops to jump through.
Is the Glow-Worm Compact Combi Right for Your Home?
The Compact Combi is particularly well suited to properties where space is at a premium. If you’re replacing an older back boiler, a conventional boiler with a hot water cylinder, or simply want to free up airing cupboard space, this is a strong candidate. Its slim profile means it can go almost anywhere a cupboard exists — kitchen, utility room, bathroom, or hallway.
As a combi boiler, it heats water on demand — so there’s no need for a separate cold water tank or hot water cylinder. That means less pipework, a simpler installation, and hot water whenever you need it. For homes with one or two bathrooms and up to three bedrooms, the 24kW model is usually sufficient. Step up to the 28kW if you have higher simultaneous hot water demands.
