Register your Ideal boiler's warranty

It is vital that you register your Ideal boiler within 30 days of installation in order to validate your warranty. Your installer may have already registered your boiler for you, but if they have not, then click on the button below to register your new Ideal boiler.


Register my boiler


You will need to have your boiler’s serial number in order to complete the warranty registration process.

Where is my Ideal boiler's serial number?

You can find your Ideal boiler's serial number in one of two places:

  • On a barcoded sticker located at the top of the boiler
  • On the Benchmark certificate completed by the installer when the boiler was installed

If you can't find the serial number, contact Ideal on:

01482 498660

With a Smart Plan cover plan, if something goes wrong with your boiler we aim to have an engineer with you within two working days. Cover-plan call-outs are booked Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:00.

Book an Ideal boiler service

You should get your boiler serviced once a year so that an engineer can make sure it's running efficiently and safely. If your boiler is still under warranty, you will need to have it serviced every year in order to keep the warranty valid.

If you would like to book a service online, you will need to register with Ideal. Be sure to have your boiler’s serial number to hand, as you will need it when registering your account.

Smell gas?

If you think there is a gas leak or a carbon monoxide emergency, call the National Gas Emergency Service on:

0800 111 999

After you have made the call, follow these steps:

  1. Open doors and windows
  2. Turn off your gas supply at the meter (unless the meter is in a cellar or basement)
  3. Do NOT use electric switches or naked flames
  4. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to check and fix the appliance as soon as you can

Frequently asked questions

My Ideal boiler has broken down and the manufacturer's lines are closed, what can I do tonight?

Get the repair booked as soon as call-out lines open, and leave the casing and the gas alone tonight. Ideal's own customer service line is open Saturdays and Sunday mornings, so waiting until Monday may not be necessary. If you hold a Smart Plan cover plan, call-outs are booked Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:00, other than a genuine emergency breakdown, and we aim to have an engineer with you within two working days. If you smell gas, get everyone out and follow the gas-leak steps below.

What details should I have ready before I contact Ideal Heating about my boiler?

The model name, the serial number, the installation date and the exact code or symptom on the display. Add what you have already checked, whether the pressure gauge sits inside its normal band, and whether hot water still works while the heating does not, because that split alone narrows the diagnosis. If the boiler is under warranty, have the Benchmark commissioning sheet and your last service record too. Smart Plan asks for the same details if you hold a cover plan with us.

What should I check before buying a replacement part for my Ideal boiler?

Match the part to the range name and serial number on the data badge, and buy a genuine one. Ideal's own user guides say to use only spare parts you can be assured conform to the safety and performance specification it requires, and not to use reconditioned or copy parts that have not been clearly authorised by Ideal Boilers. Fitting is separate: Gas Safe Register's advice is to leave gas work to a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Should I use Ideal's technical support line myself, or leave it to my engineer?

Leave the technical line to your engineer where you can, because it works best used from beside the boiler. Technical questions turn on readings a homeowner cannot safely take, such as gas rate, flow and return temperatures and combustion figures. The technical FAQs linked on this page are still worth a read yourself. For warranty, registration, servicing, parts and complaints, the customer service route above is the right one.

What happens after I ask Smart Plan for a repair on my Ideal boiler?

We take the details, check the fault against the modules listed on your cover sheet, then book a visit with an engineer from the national network of Gas Safe registered engineers we work with. Covered parts and labour are included up to the limit on your plan, which for boiler and central heating is £500 if the boiler is under 7 years old and £200 if it is over 7, per 12-month period.

Still need help with your ideal boiler?

Book a Gas Safe registered engineer for a one-off repair, set up flexible Smart Plan cover, or call our expert team free of charge.
