In my personal opinion it is a medium range boiler, with a few common faults. Bad experience with customer service. It is easy to install and service.

New boiler fitted 3 months ago and is a vast improvement over our last one which for its day was great (20 years ago). Absolute simplicity to open for servicing. Very well constructed built from the finest materials. As art looking appliance that would not look out of place in any setting.

Love ideal boilers , have been fitting them for 10 years. The only negative I can think of is the price increase each year. Wonder if there is a new style boiler coming out in the future. Not like there’s anything wrong with the existing models

Love love love the commercial boilers for ideal. Though the PCB can be a bit temperamental the reps will help you out as much as possible. Recently had a rep get an ideal engineer out to source a part that should of been in the pcb but wasn’t pulling us out of trouble

Where do I start, well back in 2018 I installed a ideal and ideal boiler for my neighbour and the customer service was shocking.
The rep was useless and did not help one bit with the issues we had.
I have reluctantly fitted 2 more of them as the customers wanted an ideal, I just hope I never have to call them out

Good boiler for the money, the new Halo smart controls are nice and have a quality feel, much better than the Touch. Good warranty. I would always recommend an Ideal if customer doesn’t have the budget to stretch to a Worcester

Nice boilers for the money. The main problem is blocking the condensation pipes. Easy and quick to service. Boilers are a bit noisy compared to other brands

Ideal boilers are at the top of their game. Great boilers with great efficiency. Reliable and easy installation. Ideal had tested these boilers for two years before letting them out on the market. Best boilers out there in my opinion.
Review for Ideal by Gas Patrol
9th November 2020
They look nice on the outside but are absolutely crap boilers in my opinion. The last decent boiler they made was the ideal Classic. On the flip side 1/3 of my work is repairing them from the most common problems the cracked sump, Venturi whistling and fan and gas valve issues. I would not personally recommend them to install for one of my customers

I had an Ideal Logic+ Combi C 30 installed in February 2016 , so coming up for 5 years. I have been exceptionally pleased with the reliability and performance of my boiler. No problems at all. Have recommended to family and friends.

Boilers have come a long way from there past combi boilers. Fitted hundreds of these through the range and had next to no issues. On the odd occasion customer services had an engineer out to resolve issue next day
Review for Ideal by M.O'Brien Gas & Plumbing Services
29th September 2020
Low to mid range boiler in my opinion. A lot of logics seem to be having issues with noise from forums that I have seen. Boiler quality does not look as good as Baxi but a very popular boiler by a lot of gas engineers. This could be due to price???

Nice to cheap products for landlords but they do have their faults with the heat engine that isn’t a cheap part to replace. And come with short warranty’s

I have very impressed with ideal boilers after the problems they had with the Isar and Icos. The vogue and logic range really are up there with the major brands in the market place. They have invested heavily in training and customer service and branding and it shows. Glad to be installing them in my business.

Ideal boilers are my first choice, they have been now for 3 years. Support line answered quickly, boilers strait-forward to fit and service. Comprehensive long term guarantees. Will work with open therm and are easy to wire.

29th March 2019
Fitted yet another one of these yesterday, the Logic Max 24c, which comes with a 10 year warranty straight out of the box.
Personally, I love these, and think they're great. They're always what I recommend to a customer, before anything else. They're lightweight (relatively speaking), and super easy to install. Built in filling link, nice bit of space on the underside of the boiler for when you're tightening up the nuts during install, and now that it comes with its own filter... what else could you ask for? Also, when fitted with the Ideal Touch, my job just couldn't get any easier.

Recently fitted a logic max with 10yr warranty and ideal filter. Brilliant boiler very easy to wire up controls to, probably the easiest boiler to wire up aswell. Will be recommending more of these boilers from now on

Fitted hundreds of Ideals over the years, mainly Logics which I have personally never had problems with.
Vogue is a great boiler! One I highly recommend all the time. Size, visual and performance is great and up there as one of the best!

Good mid range boilers - we fit lots of these for customers who need a good value for money boiler. Happy with the quality and value for money product.
Review for Ideal by Smart Gas Plumbing & Heating Ltd
8th January 2019
Overall a great range of boiler unfortunately can’t give full 5* with the common problem of the leaking sump on the logic but for me the the vogue is the best boiler out there with the ease of installing and maintaining stainless steel heat exchanger and digital display at a lower price than other top end manufacturers prices and also good kickbacks on installer connect which is also a good app

I work on alot of commercial boilers. In the commercial sector I think these are one of the best brands about. Built to last. I'm a fat. I hear afew engineers moaning about domestic boilers. But my review is strictly on commercial. These are what I recommend.
Review for Ideal by Glennon plumbing services ltd
20th February 2018
Virtually throw away Boilers, came across 2 split main heat exchangers in the last year alone as well as a split condensation/sump tray which also requires the removal of the main heat ex (not my installations) I’ve lost count of the amount of PCB’s on the old issue/icos.

On the whole, a terrible manufacturer. Technical support as absolute diabolical.
Quality of the boilers is shocking. I have lost control by if the cracked sumos that I have changed recently and Ideals stance in this is disgraceful.
I will never install and Ideal boiler.
Review for Ideal by Crawley HVAC Services
2nd May 2017
I do feel there is a place for ideal boilers, but why do they seem to be jinxed with combination boiler, I have fitted lots in the past, I have fixed even more, but I'm very disappointed with the logics, they were good at first, but now the faults are coming out of the wood work, my personal gripe is the flow turbine, what a poorly designed component, scales up quick and easy, it snaps when you take it out, the turbines are also noisy when in use, the gas valves are also becoming noisy on ignition, the sumps crack and leak and on older models with the push fit flue turret clamp I have come across loose ones, very dangerous, this has again put me of ideal boilers, the only good thing is the logics will keep me in maintenance work for another 10 years.

I have personally fitted hundreds of ideal boilers and starting to have a few issues now with leaks, sumps leak flues leak, I do have an ideal vogue in my own house and feel it's a great boiler, all in all budget boilers that have a place in the market but do expect maintenance issues later.
Review for Ideal by Sunrise Plumbing & Heating
22nd April 2017
The ideal logic+ to be fair is not a bad low priced boiler but badly let down by poor technical service on hold ages and when you do finally get through you get a receptionist who says due to high demand they will ask technical to call you back.

Cracking boiler, shame about so many issues arising and Ideal turning their backs on installers, they are no longer my first choice of boiler
Review for Ideal by Dickens Gas & Heating
20th February 2017
My experience of Ideal Boilers is that they offer value cor money and cover every budget. We mainly install the Vogue which is IMO the best domestic combi out there for the money. We install a lot and I really love everything about it. The rest of the ideal range is lower quality but still reflects value for money.
Review for Ideal by DJPHS
13th December 2016
I have always stayed well clear of installing Ideal boilers due to my experiences with the Isars and Icos range. I went to a training event yesterday where they were showing off the Locic 2 and I was very impressed. The only criticism is the plastic hydrolic blocks but to be fair, all manufactures are heading down this route.

Awfull 40 minutes on hold then cut off.
Answered on 29th April 2017 by DCB Plumbing & Heating
I found there customer care to be one of the worst, they take a decade to answer the phone when you call and 9/10 times it's been ring for that long that you are actually put though to the reception desk and she always sound like she doesn't even know what a boiler looks like. When they go out to under warranty repairs they look for reasons to void warranties (e.g. Testing water samples when going to change a fan or gas valve) and worst of all I was 24 when I set up on my own and I've been sole trader for just over 2 years now and I've never seen the ideal rep. If I was a rep I would be constantly ring/asking merchants if there was any new installs (especially young ones that might have another 30/40 years of fitting boilers) so I could go and see them and tell them what I had to offer and try and get them to fit my boilers. With there been problems with heat exchangers and sumps I have zero incentive to fit anything with Ideal written on it
Answered on 29th April 2017 by Drew Styles Plumbing & Heating
Trying to phone technical can be a nightmare but I got them out on a warranty call for a little old dear (not my Install but the custom couldn't get hold of the installer) and they were there the next day
