Ideal Boilers Reviews
Ideal Boilers Brand Review
Ideal Boilers is a well-known brand in the UK, offering a range of heating solutions, including combi, system, and conventional boilers. They are recognised for their affordability and solid performance, making them a reliable choice for many homeowners.
However, while Ideal Boilers are generally well-regarded, they are not considered the top-tier option compared to leading brands like Worcester, Vaillant, or Viessmann, which often offer superior energy efficiency, longer warranties, and advanced features.
One of the main advantages of Ideal Boilers is their cost-effectiveness. They provide good value for money, especially for those on a budget, and come with decent warranty options that give users some peace of mind. However, when it comes to long-term reliability and cutting-edge technology, other brands tend to outperform Ideal.
For instance, Worcester Bosch has been a ‘Which? Best Buy’ for many years due to its exceptional quality and customer satisfaction ratings. And Viessmann have industry-leading warranties and technology.
In summary, Ideal Boilers are a solid and budget-friendly choice for many households, offering reliable performance and decent warranty terms. Yet, for those seeking the highest efficiency, advanced features, and the longest warranties, exploring brands like Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, or Viessmann might be more beneficial in the long run.
Ideal Boilers Prices
The average cost for a new boiler installation in the UK is approximately £2,960. However, Ideal boilers are typically more affordable, with an average installation price of around £2,400.
Boilerhut can install Ideal boilers, but we tend not to as we don’t think they’re as good as some other brands like Viessmann, Vokera, Alpha or Worcester.
Ideal Boilers Range
The main Ideal range has five main boilers across combi, system and heat-only boiler types. The efficiency on Ideal Boilers tends to hover around 91% which is lower than, for example, the best-selling Viessmann 100-W which is 94% efficient.
