the very old ideal boilers were great but not very efficient, after that most of them have been really terrible but these newish ones, logic, independent and a lot of other variants but really the same thing are the best value for money right now. During that long in-between time Worcester were the best but now they are not as good and more expensive because of the name badge. This is 100% FACT, I know my **** on this, obviously opinions may vary but everyone else would be wrong
I've had 2 ligics . 1st one I had them out 3 times and the hot water is ****e. I got one 4 years ago with a 2 year gaurantee and it started leaking after 3 years . I had to replace the heat exchanger at a 200 quud cost .
Rubbish, it is a Hull company , it just happens to have owners from elsewhere these days. You really are splitting unnecessary hairs, nowt new there.
To be honest, you're wasting your time here, mate. Castro is always right. You still have his witty retort to look forward to though
LeftSaidFred was talking about Ideal Boilers. Why are you replying with an Ideal Standard reference? They literally have nothing to do with each other....
Ideal Boilers were American. The original post said " Just watching the sky match and wandering why a Hull firm of over 80 years signed one of the biggest championship sponsorship deals ever, with WBA? Does anyone know how this came about, biggest kick in the teeth to City since Paull Dixon sponsored The Codheads" You then wrote it was longer than that they started as National Radiators. But Ideal Boilers only go back 30 years or so, don't they.. National Radiators were an American Company, weren't they? This doesn't make it a lot clearer but no mention of Hull.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_Standard I do have an Armitage Shanks toilet and they are part of this group with headquarters in Hull though they were a Staffordshire firm, so I am supporting a Hull connection. Not that it really matters in the greater scheme of things, of course.
National Radiator Co formed 1894 manufacturing radiators ideal boilers, Hull factory opened 1906 1934 company acquired by Ideal Boilers and Radiators, a new public company 1948 controlled by American Radiator and Standard Sanitary ware Corporation 1961 manufacturers of boilers, radiators, heating accessories, also manufacturing sanitary appliances in vitreous china 1976 sold the domestic and industrial business to Metal Box Co Then things become a tad hazy in the 80's. Management buyouts, private equity purchases purchases and disposals. Now a private limited company, though Companies House have it incorporated December 1936. They may not now have any connection now, but once upon a time they did.
No, founded in Hull. The Americans came in 1948. Many fireplaces, or builders opening, call them what you will, were 42 inches wide to accommodate the larger range cum boiler which would heat radiators as well as domestic hot water. I have come across the by products in the course of work. The cinders were used for paths. The foundry slag popped up in an unusual place. Crushed down, it had been used as the bedding joint on brickwork. The outer face only being pointed with mortar. Anybody with a house down the Avenues? Signs of cracking or dropping brickwork?
I'd say you've been unlucky then. I fit about 100 of them without too many issues. The hot water supply depends on what size boiler you bought 24kw isn't great but 32 is more than adequate
