Ideal Logic+ S30 - a system boiler, regular boiler or combi boiler?

The Ideal Logic+ S30 is a gas system boiler.

System boilers are very popular for properties with limited or no loft space or when homeowners want to keep the space for a loft conversion. This is because, unlike heat only boilers, they don’t require a cold-water tank - however, system boilers do need a hot water cylinder (often installed in an airing or landing cupboard).

Instead of the traditional cold-water tanks, system boilers use their built-in circulating pumps to heat the water needed for your taps and radiators. This also makes them an easier choice for engineers to install as there is one less large component to find space for and fit.

Like a regular boiler, you need to use a control panel to control a system boiler. Set the times when you want central heating and hot water to be available, such as in the morning when there might be greater demand for showers, and it will be there. Although hot water is not available on-demand like with a combi boiler, once the water has been heated it will stay in the hot water cylinder until it’s used up.

Is a Ideal Logic+ S30 system the right boiler for my house or flat?

To determine that, we need to consider the size of the boiler. Size doesn't mean how big it is - it means how big its "output" is.

Your boiler's output indicates the maximum amount of power available to it to heat the water you need to warm your radiators or when you want hot water from your taps. A higher output rate means that your boiler is capable of heating greater volumes of water.

If a boiler's output rate is too low, you'll often find that the water is not as hot as you want it to be. Too high, however, and you'll end up paying more for your gas than you should be.

The Ideal Logic+ S30 system boiler has an output rate of 30 kW, so which types of property would this be suitable for?

Most Gas Safe boiler installers would suggest that the most suitable type of property for installing this Ideal Logic+ S30 System boiler in would be larger properties including detached homes with 15 or more radiators and two or more bathrooms.

What dimensions does a Ideal Logic+ S30 have?

The Ideal Logic+ S30 stands at 700 mm tall, 395 mm wide and 278 mm deep.

Ideal Logic+ S30 – condensing or non-condensing?

The Ideal Logic+ S30 is a condensing gas boiler - we’d strongly recommend that you choose the very latest condensing model for your home.

Condensing boilers run on either gas or oil and are manufactured specifically to improve energy efficiency. They do this by capturing and recycling the warmth present in flue exhaust gases and water vapour condensation into more usable heat the system can use, meaning they're far more efficient and cost less to run.

Is the Ideal Logic+ S30 system boiler environmentally friendly?

With so many of us worried about the environmental impact of our personal choices, the relationship between how we heat our homes and climate change has become an important issue for many homeowners.

Gas boilers are responsible for dangerous atmospheric levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions in Britain's biggest cities and, overall, 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gases are produced by our domestic central heating systems.

Will installing a Ideal Logic+ S30 system in your home be a positive contribution to the environment? The figures below will tell you more.

All new British boilers must perform to a legal minimum energy efficiency of 92% (a low to good SEDBUK "A" rating). Prior to April 2018, the target was 88% (86-90% = SEDBUK "B" and 90%+ = SEDBUK "A").

Efficiency ratings are intended to let consumers know how much energy a boiler uses in its day-to-day activities and how much energy goes to waste.

The Ideal Logic+ S30 was awarded an efficiency rating of 93%, equivalent to a SEDBUK grade of "A".

All products that consume energy throughout their lifespan must comply with the Energy Related Products (ERP) Directive.

Companies are legally obliged to reduce harmful gas emissions at all stages of a product's life cycle, from initial manufacturing right through to final disposal as well as when the product is in actual use.

The Ideal Logic+ S30 scores "A".

What length of warranty does the Ideal Logic+ S30 come with?

The Ideal Logic+ S30 boiler is provided with a parts and labour warranty lasting 7 years.
