Are you looking for the perfect combi boiler for your small Edinburgh flat?
You may already have heard of Ideal, a brand which is becoming more and more popular with homeowners. That’s mainly due to the fact that they’re offering some great value deals to rival the likes of Worcester Bosch or Vaillant. You even tend to get a bit more for your money, which appeals to everyone, am I right?
But what exactly can you expect from the Ideal Logic+ C24? As an experienced heating engineer, I’ve reviewed it in full below, so you can get a better idea.
Introduction
Ideal is one of those good old British names that’s still going strong today. It wasn’t always the case, though – they had a few reliability issues with their boilers around 10 – 15 years ago. Nowadays, they’re back offering amazing value deals that are turning a lot of heads!
Along with Baxi, they’ve actually gained a lot of ground in the market last year. This is because homeowners are doing their research more, and they find that if they shop around, they can get a better output of boiler for the same price as the next model up from a premium boiler manufacturer.
That’s why boilers like the Ideal Logic+ C24 are doing so well at the moment.
So, let’s take a closer look at the outputs and flow rates you can expect from the Ideal Logic+ C24 combi…
Output and flow rates
The Ideal Logic+ C24 combi offers an output of 24.2kW to the central heating, which can heat up to 10 radiators. However, the good thing about this particular boiler is that it features fully modulated operation for low outputs, which means that it only burns the fuel you need. In other words, if you’ve only got 4 radiators, you won’t be wasting energy. Pretty nifty, eh?
Now, in terms of hot water output, the Logic+ C24 also offers 24.2kW to your hot water, which will give you 9.9 litres per minute to your hot water. This is perfect if you have a shower, and mainly prefer showers to baths. Unfortunately, this boiler will be very slow to run a bath, so if you want that option, it might be worth going for the 30C instead.
Size and special features
Measuring in at 700mm x 395mm x 278mm, The Ideal Logic+ C24 is a great little compact boiler. So, if you have limited space, you may appreciate the option to fit it in a kitchen cupboard or Edinburgh press!
The C24 also comes with an easy-to-read pressure gauge, a low lift weight, and built-in frost protection. But something else I love about it is that it has an automatic built-in bypass and filling loop! Something that would cost you an extra £40 with a Worcester Bosch boiler.
Guarantee
Ah, guarantees. This is often a deal-breaker, as the real value often comes from having the peace of mind that your boiler will be running smoothly for years to come. In which case, you may be glad to hear the Ideal Logic+ range comes with a 7-year guarantee as standard. However, this is where it pays to find the right accredited installer.
Some accredited installers are offering up to 10 years cover – just check to make sure your chosen installed will definitely give you this amazing deal! It’s also good to know that these guarantees are no-quibble, so no nasty credit card charges. The brand even has its own dedicated engineers for call-outs!
TIP: Please note, your guarantee will only stay valid if your boiler is serviced annually be a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Conclusion
