What controls are compatible with my Ideal boiler?

Any controls that work on 240 Vac can be used with the current range of Ideal boilers. The Logic and Vogue range can also be controlled by OpenTherm technology for enhanced efficiency. For optimised operation, Ideal recommends using their own Halo range of thermostats, which are designed to work seamlessly with Ideal boilers.

What is OpenTherm and what are its benefits?

OpenTherm is a communication protocol between your heating controls and the boiler that allows for modulating control. Instead of simply switching the boiler on and off, OpenTherm calculates the exact heating requirement and operates the boiler at the minimum rate needed, maximising efficiency and reducing fuel costs. It also improves comfort by reducing temperature overshoot.

How do I reset my Ideal Heating boiler?

On older Ideal boilers, hold the mode dial in the reset position for 3 seconds. On newer models like Logic+ and Vogue, push the reset button underneath the display or access the reset option through the menu settings.

How do I repressurise my Ideal Heating boiler?
