If you’re looking for a combi boiler for your house or flat, then the Ideal Logic C24 is one you may wish to consider.
Traditionally, most boilers required you to find space in your property for one or more large storage tanks. These tanks would either keep water warm or hold it in reserve for later heating. Manufacturers originally introduced combi boilers to offer homeowners the same level of warmth and hot water without taking up as much space – remember that the UK has some of the smallest homes in the Western world.
With a combi boiler, the hot water needed for your radiators and taps is provided on demand. Water from the mains passes through your combi boiler and the technology within it instantly heats the cold water. It then distributes that hot water around your home.
The biggest drawback for combi boilers is that they have a maximum capacity in volume for heating water. This means that if someone wants to use the shower while another person wants to use a hot water tap, the amount of water reaching each point falls, resulting in a drop in water pressure.
To determine that, we need to consider the size of the boiler. However, size doesn't refer to how big a boiler is - it means the size of its "output".
Your boiler’s output is a measurement of the power it has available to heat the volume of water required for your taps and radiators. The higher the output rate, the more water it can heat.
You need to be careful to select a boiler with the optimal level of output for your property though. That's because, if your boiler output is too low, your water and radiators will often not be as hot as you want them to be. If the output is too high, you’ll be paying more for gas than you need to.
The output of the Ideal Logic C24 combi is 24.2 kW, so which types of property would this Ideal Logic C24 Combi boiler be appropriate for?
An experienced Gas Safe engineer would be likely to recommend that this Ideal Logic C24 Combi boiler is capable of providing heating and hot water to up to 10 radiators and one bathroom and would therefore be most suitable for smaller homes and apartments.
You should also consider a combi boiler's "flow rate" when making your choice.
The flow rate indicates how much water it can take from the mains supply at any one time (measured in litres per minute), which it then heats and distributes to different points in your home like your bathroom, kitchen and radiators. This Ideal Logic C24 Combi boiler's flow rate is 10 L/m.
Combi boilers have no storage tanks like system or heat only boilers. This means that if the water pressure where you live is low, there's no benefit in spending money on a combi with a high flow rate because a high flow rate doesn't mean it can draw any more water from the mains.
In addition, there might be lots of people in your household who want to use hot water at the same time while also having the central heating on. Given that average mains pressure in the UK is between 10 and 12 litres per second and a power shower usually requires about 12 litres of water per minute, a combi boiler might not be the right choice for you and your family.
When our engineer comes out to quote you, they may recommend that you choose a heat only boiler or system boiler instead if your family's demand for hot water is higher than normal.
The measurements of the Ideal Logic C24 are 700 mm by 395 mm by 278 mm.
We recommend that, if possible, you select one of the very latest condensing gas boilers on the market like the Ideal Logic C24.
Condensing boilers are better for the environment because they capture and recycle the heat still present in flue exhaust gases and water vapour condensation for re-use, meaning lower greenhouse gas emissions.
They're also a lot cheaper to run meaning that, if you're replacing a very old and inefficient boiler, the savings on your gas bill over 5-10 years add up to more than you pay for the boiler itself.
How we heat our homes and the damage this does to the environment has become a pressing concern for many homeowners worried about the effects and impact of climate change.
14% of the total amount of greenhouse gases produced by the UK comes from the central heating systems we use. In some of Britain's biggest cities, gas boilers create dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere.
Would choosing the Ideal Logic C24 combi be an environmentally-friendly choice? If so, let's look at its performance figures.
Boilers manufactured or supplied to UK domestic properties must achieve a legal minimum energy efficiency rating of 92% (equivalent to a good "A" grade using the SEDBUK scale). Prior to this, the minimum was 88% (88% and 89% are a "B" SEDBUK grade and anything 90% or above is an "A" grade).
The energy efficiency rating of a boiler refers to the amount of energy it uses to perform its everyday functions as well as the amount of energy it wastes.
The Ideal Logic C24 has been given a rating of 94% for energy efficiency, equivalent to a SEDBUK "A" rating.
Energy-efficient boilers help the environment as they require less fuel and emit fewer harmful gases. In 2015, the EU introduced the Energy Related Products Directive (ERP), the aim of which was to ensure that all manufacturers, including boiler manufacturers, developed more efficient products and processes.
The legislation aims to conserve energy at all life cycle stages from initial production to actual use by the customer, through to the point of disposal.
The Ideal Logic C24 has been given an ERP rating of "A" for heat and "A" for water.
The parts and labour warranty on the Ideal Logic C24 lasts for 2 years.

The Ideal Logic C24 boiler is a combi boiler you may wish to consider when looking for a new boiler for your house or flat.
Traditional boilers often have up to two tanks that either store heated water or water to be heated later. Boiler manufacturers introduced combi boilers in the 1970s to avoid the need for those big tanks. Combi boilers allow homeowners to benefit from the reliable central heating and hot water level they want but without having to give up so much space within their properties - remember that homes in the UK are among the smallest in the developed world.
Your taps and radiators get the hot water they need with a combi boiler. Combi boilers draw cold water direct from the mains which is then heated instantly on demand and distributed to your radiators and taps.
However, combi boilers cannot heat very large volumes of water, which is their main disadvantage. So, for example, when someone wants to take a shower while another person wants to use a hot water tap to do the dishes, water pressure and quantity to both points decreases.
Whether this Ideal Logic C24 Combi boiler is right for where you live depends on its size or "output" level. Size does not mean its physical dimensions - it means how powerful it is.
A boiler’s output is a measurement of the amount of power it can use to provide hot water to your taps and radiators. The higher its output rate, the more water it can heat.
If your new boiler’s output is too low, your hot water might not be as hot as you want it to be. If it's too high, you’ll be paying more for gas than you need to.
The output of the Ideal Logic C24 combi boiler is 24.2 kW, so which types of property would this be appropriate for?
A boiler engineer would recommend that, at this level of output, the most suitable type of property for this Ideal Logic C24 Combi boiler would be smaller homes and apartments with up to 10 radiators and one bathroom.
You'll also need to be sure to choose a combi boiler with the right flow rate for your home.
The flow rate indicates the maximum volume of hot water (measured in litres per minute) that your boiler can distribute at any given time. This means that if you and your family are likely to be using several taps and showers simultaneously or you have a lot of radiators, you need a boiler with a high flow rate. This Ideal Logic C24 Combi boiler's flow rate is 10 L/m.
As with all combi boilers, the Ideal Logic C24 is only able to heat and distribute water at the rate at which it actually enters your property.
For this reason, you shouldn't purchase a boiler with a very high flow rate if the flow rate in your mains pipes is lower because the extra capacity doesn't mean it can draw more water from the mains pipes.
When our engineer comes out to quote you, they may recommend that you choose a heat only boiler or system boiler instead if your family's demand for hot water is higher than normal.
The dimensions of the Ideal Logic C24 are 700 mm [H] x 395 mm [W] x 278 mm [D].
Condensing gas boilers like the Ideal Logic C24 are environmentally friendlier and cheaper to run so, if possible, we strongly recommend that you choose this or one of the very latest models.
Condensing boilers are much more efficient and economical to run because they contain a secondary heat exchanger that captures and recycles the warmth still present in the flue exhaust gases and the water vapour condensation for re-use, meaning that they use less gas to run.
How we heat our homes has become a pressing issue of concern for many homeowners worried about climate change and the environmental impact of their personal choices.
Central heating creates 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gases. And in Britain's larger cities, gas boilers are responsible for dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions.
Is the Ideal Logic C24 combi an environmentally friendly choice for your home? Let’s have a look at the figures.
The Ideal Logic C24 has been awarded an efficiency rating of 94% and a SEDBUK band rating of "A".
In the UK, all boilers manufactured and supplied must have an energy efficiency rating of at least 92% or a SEDBUK "A" grade. Until April 2018, the minimum rating was 88% (88% and 89% are equivalent to a SEDBUK "B" rating and anything higher is rated "A").
A boiler's energy efficiency rating describes the amount of energy it uses and wastes when in normal operation.
The aim of the Energy Related Products (ERP) Directive is to reduce the harmful gas emissions created during a product’s manufacture and active end use right through to its disposal.
The ERP rating for the Ideal Logic C24 is "A" for heat and "A" for water.
Ideal’s Logic C24 boiler includes a parts and labour warranty of 2 years.
