By Rick Lyon, Co-Editor

Manufacturer Ideal Heating has celebrated a major production milestone in the history of its successful Logic boiler.

Since its launch in 2009, five million Logic boilers have been manufactured and installed in homes across the UK.

All five million Logic boilers have been made at Ideal Heating’s main site in Hull.

The landmark five millionth boiler has now rolled off the production line, complete with a special commemorative gold label.

Ideal Heating has announced the gas engineer who finds the five millionth boiler will receive it for free, in celebration of the production milestone.

The company is also embarking on a UK-wide tour, visiting trade counters and branches to give installers the chance to win a host of prizes.

SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE: Ideal’s five million Logic boilers have all been manufactured at the company’s headquarters in Hull

Luke Pykett, head of marketing at Ideal Heating, said: “We’re celebrating five million Logic boilers with the installers who have played a huge role in making Logic the household name it has become today.

“As a UK manufacturer, we’re incredibly proud to have achieved such a significant milestone for our Logic range. It’s become a huge success story and a symbol of our status as the UK’s heating market leader.”

The boiler received Good Housekeeping Reader Recommended Status in 2013 and 2017, and played a key role in Ideal Heating being honoured with three prestigious Queen’s Awards for Enterprise – one in 2013 for innovation, and two in 2019 for innovation and international trade.

The popularity of the Logic boiler has also contributed to Ideal Heating holding a five star – or “excellent” – rating on Trustpilot, with the company having been reviewed by more than 47,000 customers.

To celebrate five million Logic boilers, Ideal Heating is embarking on a UK-wide tour of trade counters and branches.

Members of Ideal Heating’s team will be speaking to gas engineers and heating installers at the trade counters, with a series of competitions and prizes on offer.

Back in Hull, Ideal Heating’s home is currently undergoing a £60m investment programme, as the company gears up for the next chapter in its 100-plus-year history.

A key part of that investment is a new £19.2m UK Technology Centre, which will act as a research and development centre of excellence for future product development and innovation.
