Which category of boiler does the Ideal Logic+ S30 fit into?

The Ideal Logic+ S30 boiler is an option you may wish to consider if you're looking for a system boiler for your house or flat.

System boilers require a hot water cylinder to work (normally stored in an airing or landing cupboard) but, unlike heat only boilers, they do not require a cold water tank. This makes them more suitable for homes that do not have lofts, where attic space is limited or where a loft conversion is being considered.

You program your heating and hot water to come on via the control panel. But if you forget to set the timer, you will have to wait a while for the water to heat up. Hot water is stored in the cylinder for use throughout the day and can be distributed to multiple showers and taps at the same time without a loss of pressure or temperature (something combi boilers really struggle with). For this reason, a system boiler is a suitable option for large families and homes with more than one bathroom.

As no cold-water tank is needed with a system boiler and many major system components are built into it, this type of boiler can be easier to install than a standard boiler.

Should I choose a Ideal Logic+ S30 system boiler for my house or flat?

Whether this Ideal Logic+ S30 System 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+ S30 system is 30 kW, so which types of property is this Ideal Logic+ S30 System boiler appropriate for?

Most Gas Safe engineers would suggest that the Ideal Logic+ S30 system boiler would be a suitable choice for installation in larger properties including detached homes with 15 or more radiators and two or more bathrooms.

Ideal Logic+ S30 dimensions

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

Is the Ideal Logic+ S30 non-condensing or condensing?

The Ideal Logic+ S30 is a condensing boiler – we recommend to all clients that they choose the very latest condensing boilers because their efficiency continues to improve year after year.

Condensing boilers recycle heat from both water vapour condensation and flue exhaust gases via a secondary heat exchanger. With this heat, it performs other tasks like warming up colder water returning from your radiator without having to use more gas.

You will save money on your gas bills every year by choosing a condensing boiler as well as benefitting the environment.

Is the Ideal Logic+ S30 system boiler rated as environmentally friendly?

How we heat our homes has become a major issue for many people worried about climate change and environmental issues in general.

In the largest cities of Britain, gas boilers are responsible for dangerous levels of atmospheric nitrogen dioxide emissions. In total, 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gases are produced by central heating systems.

Would choosing the Ideal Logic+ S30 system boiler be an environmentally friendly decision? Here's what the figures say.

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+ S30 has been given a rating of 93% for energy efficiency, equivalent to a SEDBUK "A" rating.

The ERP (or Energy Related Products Directive) is a European regulation governing products which require energy to operate throughout their lives and encourages manufacturers to create products that are more environmentally friendly.

The legislation is designed to reduce the potential for harmful gas emissions during manufacturing and actual use right through to the point of final disposal.

For the Ideal Logic+ S30, the ERP rating is "A".

What is the warranty period for the Ideal Logic+ S30?

Ideal’s Logic+ S30 boiler includes a parts and labour warranty of 7 years.
