If you’re looking for a system boiler for your house or flat, you may wish to the consider the Ideal Vogue Max S15.
A system boiler needs a hot water cylinder to work but it does not require a cold water tank, unlike with heat only boilers. This makes system boilers suitable for properties that lack loft space (or have no loft at all) or where a loft conversion is planned. The cylinder stores hot water for use throughout the day and water can be distributed to more than one tap or shower simultaneously without a loss of pressure or temperature (something combi boilers really struggle with).
System boilers are generally found in larger homes or properties housing large families. System boilers are easier to install than heat only boilers because their major components, including the circulation pump, are built-in and, of course, no cold water tank is needed.
With a system boiler, you use the control panel to set times for when you want the heating and hot water to be available but, unlike combi boilers, they cannot deliver hot water instantly. If you don't set your timer, you will have to wait for the water to heat up.
You should make sure that the boiler you install in your property is the right "size". And size doesn't mean its physical dimensions, size means how much power it has - the "output".
Your boiler should be able to cope with peak hot water demand in your property and not just your average hot water usage. The output rate of a boiler is measured in kilowatts and tells you how much power a boiler can use to provide hot water to your taps, showers and radiators.
If the output of your boiler is too low, there will often be times when your water isn't as hot as you want. But if your boiler output is too high, it will be more costly to run (often unnecessarily).
The output of the Ideal Vogue Max S15 system boiler is 15 kW kilowatts. Which types of property would this be appropriate for?
A heating engineer would recommend that the Ideal Vogue Max S15 system boiler would be a suitable installation option for smaller homes and apartments with up to 10 radiators and one bathroom.
Ideal’s Vogue Max S15 is 740 mm tall, 445 mm wide, and 330 mm deep.
The Ideal Vogue Max S15 is a condensing gas boiler - we strongly recommend that you choose one of the latest condensing models if possible.
With a condensing boiler, you save money on your gas bills because your boiler captures and recycles the heat present in the flue exhaust gases and water vapour condensation for re-use, meaning they operate far more economically and efficiently.
With more and more people concerned about climate change, how we heat our homes and the damage it does to the environment is increasingly being questioned by British 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.
Would installing a Ideal Vogue Max S15 system boiler in your home help combat climate change? What do the figures suggest?
All boilers manufactured in the UK from April 2018 must operate at a minimum level of energy efficiency of 92% ("A" rating on the SEDBUK scale). Before that, the minimum was 88% - boilers scoring 88/89% were given a SEDBUK "B" rating and 90% or above an "A" rating.
The energy efficiency score of a boiler indicates how much energy it uses and how much goes to waste when in use.
After its assessment, the Ideal Vogue Max S15 was given an efficiency rating of 92% and a SEDBUK grading of "A".
The Energy Related Products (ERP) Directive's aim is to reduce the harmful gas emissions created during a product’s manufacture and active end use right through to its disposal.

If you are searching for a system boiler for your house or flat, the Ideal Vogue Max S15 is certainly one to consider.

The cylinder stores hot water for use throughout the day and water can be distributed to more than one tap or shower simultaneously without a loss of pressure or temperature (something combi boilers really struggle with).

It's best to choose a boiler whose size or "output" is right for your home.
The more hot water and heat you want, the higher the output level of your boiler should be. Output is measured in kilowatts and it describes the maximum level of power your boiler has to heat water.
If your output level is too low, your boiler will not have the power it needs to get your water as hot as you want it, particularly when there's a lot of demand for it. Choose a boiler whose output level is too high and you'll have all the hot water you need but will be paying too much for it through higher gas bills.
Which types of property would this Ideal Vogue Max S15 System boiler be appropriate for given its output of 15 kW?
A PlumbProud Gas Safe boiler installer would recommend that this Ideal Vogue Max S15 System boiler be installed in smaller homes and apartments with one bathroom and up to 10 radiators.
The dimensions of the Ideal Vogue Max S15 are 740 mm tall, 445 mm wide, and 330 mm deep.
The Ideal Vogue Max S15 is a condensing gas boiler - this is the type of boiler we recommend to most clients because they're better for the environment and they will save money on annual fuel bills.
A condensing boiler captures and recycles the warmth still present in both the flue exhaust gases and water vapour condensation created when gas is burned to provide your boiler with power.
This means it needs less gas to operate and it uses this extra energy to perform a number of tasks, including heating the colder water that comes back to the boiler from the radiators in your home.
Environmentally-friendly heating has become an important issue for homeowners concerned about the accelerating pace of climate change.
Dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions in larger UK cities are caused by gas boilers in domestic properties, and 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gas production is as a result of central heating.
If you would like your next boiler to help in the fight against climate change, would the Ideal Vogue Max S15 system be a suitable choice?
