Ideal logic 30 combi boiler

[Rickster123]

The fitter was Vaillant registered and was able to give five years guarantee because of that.

I was a vaillant installer. They called me and put me on their list. That's how hard that is!

I wouldve done it for £1295 and supplied my own tea and biscuits.

But you will actually be 1305 by the time you add the milk and sugar!

Hi Guys

I am having an Ideal Logic 30 combi boiler fitted next week at a cost of £1100 fitted and it has a 7 year guarantee subject to annual servicing. I think the price is reasonable but can anybody tell me if I am doing the right thing. I can have a Vaillant eco tec 28 fitted for £1300 but the guarantee is only 2 years. I know ideal have not been too good in the past but have they now got it right with this boiler.
Many thanks in advance to all who give advice.

You mean £1100 not including the cost of the boiler?

Hi Fezzi. Just out of curriosity why did you search and find an 18month old thread to contribute your 1st post in ?

Just going on the logic plus 30 quote......

Wow £1,100???

I fitted the exact same boiler yesterday and even with a bundle (boiler, flue, magnaclean and chems), then add the programmer, stat, limebeater and flush.......£1,100 NEARLY covered the materials!
Did the installer fit for free??

I take it the system was flushed or that warranty he gave you isn't worth squat.

If the instal was official and above board for that money you got a bargain, well done!

Not exactly a useful post now is it?

Just because you have had a bad experience doesnt mean that the while of the company is rubbish.

Boilers are like cars. Occaisionally and for no fathomable reason a 'lemon' rolls off the production line.

We professionals could tell you horror stories about all manufacturers. Would you rather sit in the cold and sulk?

Remain philosophical about it.
Why are you having the fitter back in any case?

If the boiler was installed correctly by a registered installer then the manufacturers warranty will still be valid and it would not take them 14 visits I assure you.

If however the boiler was installed on the cheap by someone from the pub.............

Your rantings dont wash with me... I have been self employed for 31 years so I know all about the costs of running a business. The first 6 years of being self employed I used to work seven days a week and loved every minute of it.
In my dealings with different tradesman with my properties they will gladly work for £100 to 160 a day depending on the trade and that is paid by cheque.
What about a car mechanic... He has to have a grands worth of tools which he has to buy himself and anybody similar who need boots has to buy there own. He Doesnt charge anybody else for them. He pays for them out of his salary which if pushed might be £100 a day.
On Friday I will be out at 6.30 am to drive a round trip of 250 miles in a car paid for by myself and likewise fuel in the tank.
Your only argument that I agree with is the holidays but I have been in that boat for 31 years so that dont wash with me either.

Would love to find a mechanic that works for £100 a day!
