    A very good price. Possibly too good.

    Thanks Shane id have been happy if you said a very good price, but when you said possibly too good.that made me wonder.
    These guys are registered gas installers so im assuming they are not cowboys?

    They might be great installers but get another 2 quotes. See what they come in at. If they are all within the same region, then you will go with who you have most confidence in.
    Being RGI's is not a badge of competency, well sort of is, but not really either if you know what I mean.
    Also Ideals are IMO bottom end of the market, but one of the biggest sellers in Ireland due to price. You have one opportunity to get the system right. You don't want to spend twice on it.

    If the Ideal logic is a bottom end boiler whats a better one or what would you recommend? maybe ill ask them what they would charge for a different one?

    IMO Viessmann, Ariston & Worchester Bosch. (Price order A, WB, V)
    Still get some alternative quotes though.

    I have the ideal logic 18 kw in a few weeks and I have to say i'm very pleased.. the house is hopping with it. very quiet in operation also, came with 5 yr guarantee. I had an Ariston in old house which caused me nothing but probs

    Comparing the new Ariston to the ideal logic is like comparing a Ferrari to a ford mondeo.

    I didn't compare them, just pointed out that I had issues.

    Issues with the old Ariston. The new A rated one is miles ahead or the A rated logic boiler

    lol i'm sure it is, but lets hope you don't ever have probs with your new Ariston down the road (once out of guarantee), because the parts are very expensive to replace from past experience.

    I've been fitting logics for over a year and havn't had much hassle. Fit Bosch also find them both excellent ,the important
    thing for me is that I have a reliable back up and good warranty service,got to admit I wouldn't touch Ariston, don't even know who stocks them or who looks after training and warranty.

    Loads of places stick them. The ideal is as basic a boiler as there is. Whereas the Ariston can be fine tuned and adjusted to suit the exact system it's heating

    Have to agree , wasn't a fan of aristons before but the more I've read about them here the more I like the sound of them. Don't do a lot of installs but I'll be considering one for my next. Have to look into some training in the new year aswell.
