Here are some of the boiler’s key features:
Aluminium heat exchanger

At iHeat, the Ideal Logic+ Combi is available in two power outputs: 30kW and 35kW.
The Ideal Logic+ 30kW is best for mid-range homes with between 3-4 bedrooms, 1-2 bathrooms and a lower demand for hot water.
This boiler has a high hot water flow rate of 12.4l/m, sending plenty of hot water to your taps and showers.
The Ideal Logic+ 35kW is better suited to larger homes with 4+ bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a higher demand for hot water.
With an impressive hot water flow rate of 14.5l/m, you can get instantaneous hot water on demand.
When shopping for a boiler, many people assume that the parts inside are generally the same, however, the materials used and quality of the components can greatly impact the way in which your boiler functions and whether or not it will stand the test of time.
The Ideal Logic+ uses an aluminium heat exchanger, which has been used in millions of boilers across Europe since the 1970s.
The benefits of an aluminium heat exchanger include:
Aluminium has a very high thermal conductivity (237W/m²/K), meaning it has a strong ability to transfer heat.
Because of this high thermal conductivity, the heat exchanger itself requires less surface area, meaning the boiler can be more lightweight and compact.
Thanks to the large waterways in an aluminium heat exchanger, the water velocity can be reduced, in turn reducing the amount of noise.
This boiler was even awarded the Quiet Mark for such low noise levels.
On contact with water or oxygen, a non-porous protective layer of aluminium oxide is formed naturally, called alumina (or the passivation layer).
This chemical reaction contributes to the heat exchangers being highly resistant to the corrosion effects of condensate during operation.
A key thing to note, however, is that stainless steel heat exchangers are more desirable than aluminium due to their better corrosion resistance, durability and reliability.

Thanks to its A-rated 89% energy efficiency, you can make incredible savings on your heating bills whilst reducing your carbon footprint, all without changing your consumption.
The Logic+ is part of Ideal’s ErP range which means it has been designed with energy efficiency in mind.
When shopping for a boiler, an important consideration is the dimensions of it so you can be sure it will fit in the location you want to have it installed.
Fortunately, the Ideal Logic+ combi has incredibly compact dimensions of W 395mm, D 279mm, H 700mm and is designed to fit inside a standard kitchen cupboard, helping you to save space elsewhere in your home.
The Logic+ comes with an innovative and easy-to-use LCD display which is fully backlit, making it a lot easier to read.
This means quick fixes such as topping up your boiler pressure are made a lot simpler.
The Ideal Logic+ comes with built-in frost protection, helping to reduce the risk of your boiler freezing during the colder months.
The standard warranty for the Ideal Logic+ is 7 years, however, with iHeat you can get a huge 10 year warranty on parts and labour, so you can rest easy knowing you’re covered in the unlikely event of something going wrong.
In 2013, the Ideal Logic+ boiler was awarded the Queen’s award for Enterprise and Innovation.
The award recognises Ideal’s “outstanding innovation, resulting in improvements to the business’ performance and commercial success.”
The Ideal Logic, Logic+ and Vogue boiler ranges also received the Housekeeping Reader Recommended Status in 2013, 2017, 2019 and again in 2020!
As mentioned earlier, this model received the Quiet Mark, a certification that assesses products for their solutions to unwanted noise.
The Logic+ won the coveted prize for the Household Boiler category for Product of the Year after 11,941 members of the public took part in research conducted by leading market information group TNS.
Consumers were particularly impressed with the Logic+ because it “helps to reduce energy bills”, has “high efficiency and is simple to run” and needs “minimal maintenance and is eco-friendly”.
The Logic Combi+ is an affordable boiler that doesn’t compromise on quality.
Sure, it isn’t the flashiest of boilers like the Worcester Bosch Style 8000, but if all you’re looking for is a reliable boiler that delivers effective and efficient heating, the Ideal Logic+ is a great choice.

The Ideal Logic combi boiler series is highly regarded in the heating industry for its efficiency, reliability, and value for money. It's designed to meet the needs of a wide range of domestic installations, offering compact sizes that fit easily into standard kitchen cupboards. With a good warranty period and user-friendly controls, it's a popular choice among homeowners looking for a cost-effective heating solution. Its performance and efficiency have made it a preferred option for both new installations and boiler replacements.
Like any boiler, the Ideal Logic series can experience issues, some of the more common faults include:
The life expectancy of an Ideal Logic boiler is typically around 15 years, with proper installation and regular maintenance. Annual servicing by a qualified professional can help extend its lifespan and ensure it operates efficiently and safely throughout its service life.
To reset an Ideal Logic boiler, locate the reset button on the boiler's control panel. This button is often marked clearly, sometimes with a flame or reset icon. Press and hold this button for a few seconds until the boiler resets. This can clear some fault codes and minor issues, but if problems persist, further investigation or professional assistance may be necessary.
If your Ideal boiler is not firing up, it could be due to several reasons, such as low water pressure, a fault in the ignition system, a blocked condensate pipe, or electrical issues. Check the boiler's display for any fault codes, which can help diagnose the problem. Ensuring the boiler has power and checking the gas supply are also good initial steps.
Pressing the reset button on your boiler can help clear minor faults and restart the boiler's operation. It's a recommended first step when troubleshooting some issues. However, if the boiler continues to display fault codes or doesn't operate properly after resetting, it may indicate a more serious issue that requires professional diagnosis and repair.
To manually reset a boiler:
Always refer to your boiler's user manual for specific instructions on resetting, as procedures can vary between models.
