Ideal Logic Max Combi C24 Boiler Details

The Ideal Logic Max Combi C24 is part of the Logic Max Combi2 range. It provides central heating and instantaneous domestic hot water from one compact wall-hung unit. It arrives fully assembled with a DHW plate heat exchanger, diverter valve, circulating pump, pressure gauge, PRV and expansion vessel. The box also includes an Ideal System Filter, which must be installed correctly to keep the warranty valid. The hardware pack is fully labelled and includes preformed copper tails, a built-in filling loop, a PRV discharge pipe and a pre-wired mains lead.

Users control the boiler through a large colour screen, two temperature knobs, a Mode button and hot keys. The Mode button switches between Off, Summer (hot water only) and Winter (heating and hot water). The display can scroll through up to three status messages. The leaf symbol on the heating knob marks the economy setting, where the boiler condenses most efficiently. According to the manual, turning the room thermostat down by 1 °C can cut gas use by up to 10%.

The DHW preheat function has three settings: Off (factory default), On and Timed. When it is active, preheating starts once the flow temperature drops 15 °C below the DHW target. It stops at 5 °C below the target or after 3 minutes, and it runs at most once every 30 minutes. The Timed mode learns how the household uses hot water over 7 days. It then preheats only during the periods when hot water was used the previous week, which gives quicker hot water with less gas.

Intelligent Load Optimisation reduces short cycling. If the flow temperature goes 4 °C above the heating target, the burner switches off. When it relights, it ramps down to minimum rate over 60 seconds and stays there for 10 minutes. Normal operation returns after those 10 minutes, or once heating demand has been off for more than an hour. The boiler also has a fan overrun cycle, a pump overrun, and a daily pump and diverter valve exercise that prevents seizing.

Frost protection works in every mode as long as the mains power stays on. It fires the boiler when the water temperature falls below 5 °C. A siphonic 75 mm condensate trap lowers the risk of the condensate freezing. If the condensate pipe does freeze, the boiler gurgles and then shows "Ignition Lockout". The manual explains how to thaw the pipe safely with warm water or heat packs. It warns never to use boiling water and never to thaw pipework above ground level.

The boiler works with Ideal's Halo controls without any hardwiring. Pairing it with a Halo Combi Wi-Fi thermostat raises the ErP rating from A to A+ through load and weather compensation, geolocation and Met Office forecast data. Other supported options are the wired OpenTherm Halo Lite, the 2-Zone extension kit and outdoor sensor 216119. The older PRT3 RF thermostat is not compatible. The boiler is also compatible with solar thermal and hybrid systems.

For servicing and diagnostics, the menu gives access to Fault Help, Fault History, Sensor Readings and a Vent System routine. A "Service Due" reminder appears after the boiler has been installed for one year. There are clear on-screen messages for faults such as low water pressure, blocked flue or condensate, and pump dry run. All servicing is done from the front of the boiler, which uses a Honeywell gas valve and a single spark and detection electrode.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Ideal Logic Max Combi C24 Boiler, and we answer them below.


How much hot water can the Ideal Logic Max Combi C24 deliver?
The C24 delivers a nominal 9.9 litres per minute at a 35 °C temperature rise, with a maximum DHW output of 24.2 kW. It keeps producing hot water at flow rates as low as 2 l/min.

What pressure should the heating system be at?
When the system is cold, the gauge should read between 1 and 1.5 bar. The boiler stops working if pressure falls below 0.3 bar, and the system should not go above 2.5 bar when hot.

How do I top up the system pressure?
Make sure the blue and green handles are closed. Remove the cap and plug, connect the filling loop to the DHW inlet, then turn the blue handle horizontal. Slowly open the green filling loop handle until the gauge reads 1 to 1.5 bar. Close both valves, disconnect the loop and refit the cap and plug.

What does the Timed preheat setting do?
Timed preheat learns your hot water usage over 7 days. It then keeps the heat exchanger warm only at the times you normally draw hot water, so you get faster hot water while using less gas than the always-on setting.

Why does my boiler show Ignition Lockout in cold weather?
The condensate pipe has often frozen. The boiler usually gurgles before it locks out. Thaw the pipe with warm water or a heat pack (never boiling water), then press Restart. If it still won't light, call a Gas Safe Registered engineer.

What is the maximum flue length for the C24?
The maximum effective flue length is 9 m horizontally and 7.5 m vertically. Each 90° elbow counts as 1 m and each 45° elbow counts as 0.6 m.

Can the Logic Max Combi C24 run on LPG?
Yes. It is supplied for natural gas (G20), and an LPG conversion kit is available. A qualified engineer must fit the kit following its own instructions.

Which thermostats are compatible with this boiler?
The C24 works with Ideal Halo RF, Halo Wi-Fi, Halo Lite (wired OpenTherm), the Halo 2-Zone kit and the weather compensation outdoor sensor. It also accepts 230 V programmable room thermostats. The PRT3 RF (part no. 216131) is not compatible.

How often does the boiler need servicing?
A Gas Safe Registered engineer should service it at least once a year. The display shows a "Service Due" reminder after one year, and you can clear it by pressing Restart.

Does the boiler protect itself from frost?
Yes. If the boiler water falls below 5 °C, the boiler fires, as long as the mains power is left on. This does not protect the rest of the system, so a frost thermostat is recommended where pipework is exposed.

Can the boiler be installed in a cupboard?
Yes. It needs 5 mm front clearance to the cupboard door, and 450 mm with the door open for servicing. The compartment needs no ventilation, but it must not be used for storage.

What size is the C24 and how heavy is it?
The casing measures 700 mm high, 395 mm wide and 278 mm deep. The boiler has a lift weight of 28.5 kg.

What warranty comes with the boiler?
A 10-year parts and labour warranty is available when the boiler is registered within 30 days of installation. The Benchmark commissioning checklist must be completed, and the boiler must be serviced every year.
