Is the Ideal Logic+ H15 boiler a combi, regular or a system boiler?

Suitable for a house or a flat, the Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only boiler is worth considering if you want a heat only boiler.

Heat only boilers, also known as regular or conventional boilers, need enough space for a hot water cylinder with an immersion heater (usually found in a landing cupboard) and a cold-water tank (usually found in a loft). The hot water cylinder keeps water warm and the cold water tank stores water that it passes to the hot water cylinder when required or programmed to do so.

You control how your heat only boiler works by programming it to heat water and provide central heating at the times and on the dates you choose. But if you forget to set times and dates and your hot water cylinder is empty, you may have to wait up to an hour before you have hot water again in your home.

Heat only boilers are often the best choice for a larger family or a property with multiple bathrooms as, unlike with combi boilers, there is no drop in water pressure, temperature or volume when more than one person wants hot water.

Is the Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only boiler the right choice for my house or apartment?

Whether this Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only boiler is right for where you live depends on its size or "output" level. Size does not mean its physical dimensions, however - it means how powerful it is.

Measured in kilowatts, a boiler's output level is an indication of the amount of power it has available to it to heat the water coming from your taps and for warming your radiators. The greater the output level, the more water it can heat.

If you choose a boiler whose output level is too low, you'll often find that the water is not as hot as you want it to be. If you choose a boiler whose level is too high, you'll be paying higher gas bills than you need to for years to come.

The output of the Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only is 15 kW, so which types of property is this Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only boiler appropriate for?

Most experienced boiler engineers would recommend this Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only boiler as a suitable option for smaller homes and apartments with no more than up to 10 radiators and one bathroom.

What is the size of the Ideal Logic+ H15?

The dimensions of the Ideal Logic+ H15 are 700 mm tall, 395 mm wide, and 278 mm deep.

Is the Ideal Logic+ H15 condensing or non-condensing?

Condensing boilers convert the warmth present in flue exhaust gases and water vapour condensation into heat which they then recycle to increase the temperature of the colder water returning to your system.

We recommend that homeowners choose a condensing boiler like the Ideal Logic+ H15 for this reason - the more recent your model the better because the technology improves every year.

You'll benefit from lower quarterly gas bills and condensing boilers are also much more environmentally friendly.

Is the Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only an energy-efficient boiler?

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.

Around 14% of the greenhouse gases produced in the UK is a result of our central heating systems. Gas boilers are responsible for dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions in some of our largest cities.

Would choosing the Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only boiler be an environmentally friendly decision? Here's what the figures say.

All boilers manufactured and installed in the UK are required to have an energy efficiency rating of 92% or above (or a good “A” SEDBUK rating). Before April 2018, when the law changed, the minimum energy efficiency level permissible was 88% (86-90% is a SEDBUK "B" rating and 90%+ is an "A" rating).

A boiler's energy efficiency rating indicates the amount of energy used and wasted during normal operational performance.

Following its assessment, the Ideal Logic+ H15 was given an efficiency rating of 93% and a SEDBUK grading of "A".

The Energy Related Products Directive (ERP) is European legislation that applies to all products which use or consume energy during their lifespan - this includes during the manufacturing process and when they're in use, right through to the point of final disposal.

The aim is to encourage manufacturers to create new products that are kinder to the environment and which create fewer harmful gas emissions.

The Ideal Logic+ H15 has an ERP Heat rating of "A".

How many years does the warranty period cover on a Ideal Logic+ H15 boiler?

The Ideal Logic+ H15 boiler comes with a parts and labour warranty of 7 years.
