Why we don’t install or repair Ideal Boilers
We get asked all the time why we don’t install Ideal Boilers, the answer is easy, it’s purely down to reputational issues.
Ideal once manufactured very reliable and robust boilers, sadly those days are long gone.
Ideal once made boilers such as the ‘Classic’ and ‘Mexico’ that despite their age are still working strong now. They have been replaced by unbelievably unreliable models such as the ‘ISAR’.
The new ‘Logic’ range despite offering 2, 7 & 10 Year Warranties still have reliability issues. Many will argue that the warranty will cover the boiler breakdowns. Whilst this is true it doesn’t cover the hassle & time waiting in for someone to come & repair the boiler, or no hot water on a Friday night …..& weekend
Still not sure ?
