The 40 does. Problem I'm finding is that it doesn't seem to fire up fast enough, and as a result, it's constantly chasing its tail. Ideal are being very good about it and changing the boiler next Tuesday, so fingers crossed. Tbh if I hadn't fitted it when it was minus 2 outside, it would have probably gone unnoticed.

Other than that, it's a lovely boiler.

they are fitting a brand new boiler ?take it there is a delay with firing, tb do you think its a one off or are they all like this , i like to try new boilers but this is not giving me faith

They're reassuring me that as their flagship model, it should be fantastic and they want to prove to me that its as good as they say it is. So yeah, they're fitting a new one.

Tbh if it wasn't for the HW issue I've had on this one, I'd say it was probably one of the best I've fitted. Very efficient, very quiet, good looking, easy to install, easy to use.

Yes mate, they're in the arms.

Used a Honeywell 927 as per usual. I'll be getting some freebies and training courses I think

 

[smtplumbing]

ahh the good old 927 thats what i use cheaper than ideals own controls tbh i need to take a wee look

 

[dancinplumba]

try Delta Dore they come with 5 yr warranty and easy to use imo

 

[snoopy8888]

anyone installed one ?

 

[snoopy8888]

We'll agree to disagree. Fitted one and won't be fitting any more.

Will ask rep about cash back though lol.

what seems to the problem ?

TB fitted a 32 kw one and was less than impressed with the hot water performance, ideal tried to sort it, it was no better, so they fitted a 40 kw version for free, dunno if that solved the problem though?

The original boiler is back at ideal being tested now. They fitted a 40kw for free and the customer is now overjoyed. Customer services have been excellent about it.

It's apparently the first problem they've had with the vogue so far but obviously not many have been sold.

Thanks for the update Tom, wonder if the 32 is indeed faulty or the 40 works because of the extra power etc?

That's the problem, there are now too many variables to make a comparison. Hopefully they'll keep me informed of what they find with the problem boiler.

No worries Bod. I linked this older thread to the review thread, because it is the no1 google search result for several term combinations relating to Ideal Vogue.

 

[Masood]

I'll add my thanks, too Ray. Went back to the customer's house to sort out a couple of other bits and it's a joy to see them so happy, and the baby not having to be wrapped up in a heavy blanket!

Did you find out the issue - we had a Vogue 32 fitted Dec 2013 - 7 engineer visits later and 4 heat exchangers later (2 were broken on delivery) they have reluctantly agreed to swap the boiler but only for another 32 and are insisting our original installer clean the system and fit the magnaclean and a bypass for them!

 

[PhoenixServices]

Sounds as though the system wasn't cleaned properly when installed. Did you installer do a power flush? I wouldn't fit a boiler without a magnaclean or bypass either. So sounds more like installer error rather than ideal.

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Aye, easier to blame the boiler unfortunately 🙁

 

[Nicb]

Yes it was cleaned before fitting and a water sample taken by Ideal 4/14 was clear hence they changed the hex. When they fitted it they never queried why there was no magnaclean or bypass but suddenly they are (and its the same engineer from Ideal)
