Who makes Ideal boilers

Ideal Heating is a long-established UK boiler maker based in Hull, and one of the most common gas boiler brands in UK homes. In Northern Ireland, Ideal boilers are found mainly in homes on the Phoenix and firmus gas networks, often fitted when a house was converted from oil or newly connected.

Ideal makes gas boilers only, so if you have an Ideal, you need a Gas Safe registered engineer for the annual service.

  • Logic and Logic Max: Ideal’s best-known combi, system and heat only ranges, very common in Northern Ireland homes.
  • Vogue and Vogue Max: the premium range, with higher outputs and more advanced controls.
  • Instinct: a compact combi range.
  • Older Ideal boilers: earlier models such as the Isar and Icos are still in service, and we look after those too.

A Gas Safe registered engineer works through Ideal’s service instructions for your boiler. A typical service includes:

  • checking gas pressure and burner operation;
  • a flue gas analysis with a calibrated analyser, checking combustion is within Ideal’s limits;
  • inspecting the burner and heat exchanger where the manual calls for it;
  • checking and cleaning the condensate trap;
  • checking the expansion vessel and system pressure;
  • testing safety devices, seals and the flue;
  • recording the readings on your service record.

Most services take about 45 minutes. For more detail on each step, see what a boiler service includes.

Ideal offers guarantees on new boilers, and like other manufacturers, the usual condition is an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer, recorded each year. Some guarantees also depend on registration after installation or on the installer.

The exact conditions depend on your model and when it was fitted, so check your guarantee terms.

The calls we get about Ideal boilers usually come down to a handful of causes:

  • Low pressure. The boiler shows a pressure fault and stops. Topping up is a safe first step. A boiler that keeps losing pressure needs a repair visit. See boiler pressure low.
  • Frozen condensate pipe. A common cause of winter lockouts on condensing boilers with an external condensate run.
  • Ignition or flame faults. The boiler tries to light but cannot hold a flame. One reset is fine; repeats need an engineer.
  • Noise. Kettling, banging or gurgling. See boiler noises.

We do not publish Ideal fault code tables. They differ between ranges and generations, so your user manual is the reference, and our engineer will check the cause on site.

Many Ideal boilers in Northern Ireland were fitted when a home moved from oil to gas. If that is your story, two things are worth knowing. First, the old heating system may still carry sludge from its oil years, which can shorten the life of a new boiler’s heat exchanger; our engineer will tell you if the water looks dirty. Second, the first service is due within 12 months of installation for most guarantees, so do not let the first year slip. See our oil to gas conversion guide.

£79 for a gas Ideal boiler, or £89 on LPG, fixed and including VAT.
Most Ideal boilers have a reset button or a reset option on the control panel. Press it once and give it a few minutes. If it locks out again, stop and book an engineer.
Annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer is usually a condition of the guarantee. We record every service, but check your guarantee terms in case there are extra conditions.
On condensing boilers, gurgling often comes from a partly blocked or frozen condensate pipe. If the boiler has stopped and it is freezing outside, that is the first thing to suspect.
