f***ing Ideal!!!

[gas4you]

Now unfortunately got 3 Ideal Isar/Icos with leaking main HE. Only 4 years old all of them

Ideal don't want to know (as expected).

How much longer have the paying public got to put up with this crap manufacturer.

Luckily I haven't fitted these, but I still find it embarrassing

Ideal deserve to go out of business I think

As long as mugs like you are willing to repair them.

Take the money & run, that`s what most ``breakdown engineers`` do.

Ideal deserve to go out of business I think

If they did, monkeys like you would soon be out of a job.

WHY WHY WHY Dave, why get involved in them in the first place the minute people mention them just say sorry i don`t touch them try BG or Ideal for a fixed price repair (ok heatexchanger may not be but why clear others shi#e) they are not worth the hassle even if the job is a good payer.

 

[gas4you]

I agree Bamber, but the part you are missing is that I WON'T fix them.

Let Ideal sort out the mess they have left the customers in

 

[muggles]

Technically, nobody has to put up with them, they only haven't gone out of business because people keep buying them, if everyone moved elsewhere they'd disappear overnight

 

[gas4you]

Just what I have done namsag.

All I've done is quote for a replacement boiler on each of them. NOT Ideal I hasten to add

From what I can ascertain, the only ones keeping Ideal in business are Warmfront and we all know what they're like. 2 peas in a pod is the expression that springs to mind

 

[mickyg]

slowly(far too slowly) the warmfront scheme is being exposed for the complete scam that it is. When it finally gets sorted, I think ideal will be a gonna. All the traditionally rubbish manufacturers have all swallowed there pride and invested in the gianonni revolution. Ideal are on some other planet when it comes to R&D.

not to worry dave, some good weight in them ideal heat exchangers... get a few bob down the scrap yard

 

[gas4you]

Nice one

 

[Mr Smyth]

Remember going to a very new town house on Christmas Eve last year and telling the customer I would order parts for his leaking isar and leave him cold over Christmas. It was under a year old.
Drove past a couple of weeks ago and saw 2 BG install vans on the drive. Had a job to go there yesterday and expected to see something decent replacing the eyesore...... no another Isar. Thought that we had probably changed it under contract but no..... he paid £3.5K for it and when I asked him why Ideal he explained that it was the only boiler that would fit in the compartment.

Will these people ever learn

The problem this time was a system fault on the UFH so I walked

 

[Bambergaspipe]

I hate Ideal cos there boilers are sh*it, I also hate them because they are made by an English company so they are bound to be shi*t, The only thing England is good for these days is sucking America`s a*sshole. The weather here is sh*it also. ( I`m English ). (So is my boiler & my car which are equally sh*it).


F*uck it. I`m off to France. Do they stink of onions???

 

[gas4you]

Yes, and garlic

Rather be in your bar in Spain

I thought Ideal were now owned by an American company, and that they are up for sale with no takers at present

I wonder why

 

[Bambergaspipe]

Rather be in your bar in Spain

Dream on mate, it`s full of English people & totally corrupt. I don`t mind the corruption it`s the Brit`s on holiday I can`t stand. Big white fat bas*tards & that`s the women....

 

[Agile]

I have yet to be called to an Icos/Isar with a leaking main HE.

The more unreliable a boiler is then the more diagnosis/repair jobs that I get so it is no problem for me.

It is disapointing though that a British company can manage so many unreliable designs like the Response and Icos/Isar.

Ideal were until a few years ago very well supported by British Gas installations!
