Ideal Boiler Review

Celebrated for its reliable and innovative heating solutions, headquartered in Hull. Part of Groupe Atlantic since 2015, Ideal has modernized its offerings while maintaining a focus on affordability and efficiency, with over 1 million boilers installed annually. In 2025, Ideal’s combi boilers, notably the Logic Max, Vogue Max, and Logic Combi 2, are praised for balancing performance, compact design, and value, making them a top choice for UK households. Ideal combi boilers deliver instant hot water and central heating from a single, space-saving unit, ideal for flats or medium-sized homes. Models like the Logic Max (24kW–35kW) achieve A-rated efficiency of 94%, with flow rates of ~10–14 liters per minute, suitable for 1–2 bathrooms. Their stainless steel heat exchangers ensure durability, while features like frost protection, smart controls (e.g., Halo Wi-Fi thermostat), and Quiet Mark accreditation for low noise enhance user experience. Compact (700mm x 395mm x 278mm) and wall-mounted, they fit kitchen cupboards, with sleek designs complementing modern interiors. Installer-friendly with flue lengths up to 27 meters, they offer warranties of 7–12 years, extendable with accredited installers. Priced from £479–£1,381 (excluding installation), they’re cost-effective, though some Trustpilot reviews (4.8/5 from 49,000) note occasional after-sales delays. Best for small to medium homes, larger properties may need Ideal’s system boilers. With awards like Good Housekeeping (2017) and 20% hydrogen-readiness, Ideal remains a reliable, eco-conscious choice.
