What moves the price of an Ideal logic max
- The boiler itself
Budget ranges cost the least, mid-range ranges sit in the middle, and premium ranges with longer warranties cost the most. Output matters less to the price than the range does.
- Output
The same range comes in several outputs. A bigger output costs a little more, and a fitter should size it from the number of bathrooms and radiators, not from habit.
- Like for like or a conversion
Swapping a boiler for the same type in the same place is the cheapest job. Changing type, moving the boiler or re-routing the flue adds pipework, labour and days.
- The state of the system
Old radiators and pipes full of sludge can need a power flush, new valves or a filter before the installer will fit a new boiler under warranty.
- Where you live
Installer rates are higher in London and the South East than in the North and in Scotland, and the regional pages show the difference.
- Who fits it
National installers and local Gas Safe engineers quote differently for the same boiler. Compare quotes on the make and model, the warranty and what is included, not on the headline price alone.
What a quote for an Ideal logic max should include
If a quote is missing any of these, ask why before you compare it with another.
- The make, model and output of the boiler, and the length of the manufacturer warranty once it is registered
- Whether the price includes a magnetic filter, a system clean or flush, and the cost if the installer finds the system needs one
- Whether the flue, the condensate pipe and any new pipework are included, and what a longer or relocated flue adds
- Removal and disposal of the old boiler, and who registers the installation with Gas Safe and the manufacturer
- A fixed price in writing, the deposit and the payment schedule, and the workmanship guarantee
- The date, the number of engineers and how many days the heating and hot water will be off

Common questions about an Ideal logic max
Is this the installed price?
It is built from the published boiler price and a typical fitting range, because the sources give the two separately. Treat it as a guide, and compare it with a written quote.
Does the warranty depend on who fits the boiler?
Often. Manufacturers usually ask for the boiler to be fitted by an approved installer, registered, and serviced every year to keep the longer warranty.
Is VAT charged on a new gas boiler?
Yes. Gas boilers are standard-rated, so the price shown includes VAT. The zero rate for energy-saving materials applies to heat pumps, solar panels and insulation, not to gas boilers.
