Ideal Logic+ 18kw heat only boiler - advice please

[IanSmith]

Hi. We're in the process of replacing our (very) old Glowworm 75 heat only boiler with a heat only condensing boiler. Most people have quoted a Worcester Bosch. I can understand this given the very good reviews out there but the two better quotes are for an Ideal Logic+. Now I know they have had poor reviews in the past an in particular their combi boilers got very poor ratings. However, I understand that there has been changes in the company, quality improvements made and (in any case) I'm looking at the simpler heat only boiler.

So, I would appreciate any views on Ideal heat only boilers that have been fitted since the changes at Ideal so I can make a fully informed decision.

All comments gratefully received...Thanks!

Logic plus is a cracking little boiler at a mid range price. I have fitted the combi & heat only versions & like them .....however people on here have had warranty issues with Ideal which you can find in the forum, but personally it's not happened to me ....yet....

The Ideal boilers are OK , not had any problems . or take a look at the Baxi Blue range, very easy boiler to install, no pump over run required,

Yes its well documented the problems with logics , but I would fit one over a Worcester any day .

Ideal logics are ok fitted one recently they have had a face lift the only thing I am not sure about is the plastic front casing they have now worked well enough on a open vented system upgrade .

Fitted a logic plus heat only and a cracking little boiler- much better than the overhyped Worcester in my opinion but each to their own.

Many thanks for all your advice. I think I'll be going with our local team with the Ideal. They have excellent reviews and I save around 300 over the next quote (a relatively local company, but larger)

The Logic heat only does not need a permanent live any more
