Here at Hirst gas services we have installed ideal boilers for over 10 years. so when doing an ideal boiler review we think we know them inside out.
Personally my first encounter with ideal boilers was when i was working for a company who contracted to leeds city council. we were fitting a lot of the Ideal Isar boilers. These boiler have had a lot of bad press over the years as the were notorious for breaking down.
Now i don't disagree with this but i also think that the Quality of install and servicing over the years by some engineers led to the poor performance of the Isar/Icos.
Skip on several years and the ideal boilers reputation had taken a hit and they wanted to make good there relationship with installers and customers alike. they introduced the ideal logic boiler. a totally new design boiler and in my opinion a million miles from the Isar.
Alot of installers i spoke to were saying they'd never fit another ideal again. but the combination of price and a 7 year warranty (one of the first manufacturers to do one this long) enticed us back to the hull based firm.
Onto the ideal boiler review. Since i started installing the Logic boilers i have very little problems. In the early days there were rumours of an heat exchanger problem but fortunately i didn't encounter it. and more recently i have done a few repairs on the water turbines but nothing to moan about as like with all boilers you do get the odd problem.
Small and compact with a number of flueing options and models up to 35kw make the ideal logic a sound buy when looking to upgrade your combi boiler.
Alongside ideal logic there is the logics bigger brother the vogue which at the time of writing this comes with a whopping 10 year warranty.
This boiler in my opinion is one of the best on the market for the price. i like it that much I've even installed one in my own home (see picture half way through the install)
although a slight increase in price the added value of 3 more years warranty and the choice of models up to 40kw i think its worth the extra money
like all boilers the ideal range do have problems but in my experience for the number i have installed i can recommend this boiler confidently to my customers.
we hope you found this ideal boiler review helpful.
