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

Looking for a gas heat only boiler for your flat or house? Then the Ideal Logic+ H15 may be an option you should consider.

If your home has more than one bathroom or you have a large family which uses a lot of hot water, a heat only boiler (sometimes called a regular boiler, a conventional boiler or a standard boiler) is likely to be the best option for you. Heat only boilers require both a hot water or immersion cylinder and a cold water tank. Once the water in the cylinder is heated, you can use this hot water throughout the day and it can feed multiple taps and showers at the same time.

This is in contrast to a combi boiler which can only heat a limited amount of water at any one time. This can cause a problem if two or more taps and showers are being used simultaneously as the temperature, pressure and volume to all points will drop.

Heat only boilers allow you to program the times that you wish heat and hot water to be available. However, if you forget to do this and the immersion cylinder is empty, you may have to wait up to an hour before hot water becomes available again.

If your property already has a water tank and cylinder, it will nearly always be cheaper to replace like for like and not choose a different type of boiler. In addition to new pipework, you may need to replace older radiators that may be unable to cope with the higher water pressure delivered by other types of boiler.

Should I install a Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only boiler in my home?

It's best to choose a boiler whose size or "output" is right for your property. With a boiler, however, size does not mean how big the boiler is, it means how much power it has.

The amount of hot water you get from showers, bathrooms, and sinks and heat from your radiators depends on your boiler's output (measured in kilowatts). The higher the level of output, the better your home will be heated and you can be more certain that the water from your taps will be as hot as you want.

However, you must be careful. You might not get the hot water you want if your boiler output is too low. If it's too high, you'll be paying more than you need to for gas.

With the Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only's output at 15 kW, which types of property would this Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only boiler be most appropriate for?

To most experienced Gas Safe engineers, the Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only Logic+ would be most suitable for smaller homes and apartments with up to 10 radiators and one bathroom.

What are the dimensions of the Ideal Logic+ H15 boiler?

The Ideal Logic+ H15 is 700 mm [H] by 395 mm [W] by 278 mm [D] in size.

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

The Ideal Logic+ H15 boiler is a condensing gas boiler and we recommend that you select one of the latest models if possible.

Condensing boilers reduce homeowners' gas bills and are better for the environment. They do this by capturing and recycling the heat still present in the flue exhaust gases and water vapour condensation produced when boilers burn gas to generate the power they need to operate.

How energy efficient is the Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only 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.

14% of the UK’s greenhouse gas production comes from central heating. In the bigger cities, gas boilers in particular are responsible for dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions.

If you decide to install a Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only in your home, will you be helping the environment with your choice? Let’s have a look at the figures.

All boilers manufactured and supplied in the UK must achieve an energy efficiency rating of at least 92% (an "A" SEDBUK grade). This is higher than the previous 88%, which was a legal requirement prior to April 2018.

The energy efficiency rating is used to work out how much energy a boiler both uses and wastes when it's switched on and working correctly - its standard functioning and operation.

The Ideal Logic+ H15 is rated as 93% energy efficient, equivalent to a "A" SEDBUK rating.

In 2015, the Energy Related Products Directive (ERP) came into force. The legislation applies to all products that consume energy - in production, during their active life, and at the point of final disposal.

The ERP was introduced to incentivise manufacturers to create products that emit fewer harmful gases with the larger aim of protecting the wider environment.

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

If the Ideal Logic+ H15 heat only boiler breaks down, am I covered?

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