Ideal Logic Air: Technical Specifications and Output Capabilities
The Ideal Logic Air source heat pump utilises a monobloc design and delivers a focused output range from 4kW up to 10.3kW. Its standout operational metric is a peak SCOP of 5.19 on the 10.3kW unit. By maintaining high efficiencies, the system achieves an A+++ ErP rating at 35°C flow across the entire line, keeping electrical consumption firmly in check.
| Model Output | SCOP (at 35°C) | ErP Rating (35°C) | Noise Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4kW | 4.96 | A+++ | 52 dB(A) |
| 5kW | 5.07 | A+++ | 52 dB(A) |
| 8kW | 5.16 | A+++ | 55 dB(A) |
| 10.3kW | 5.19 | A+++ | 55 dB(A) |
Matching the correct capacity to the property is non-negotiable; nailing the design always starts with calculating accurate heat loss for heat pump sizing. With low-GWP R32 refrigerant and Quiet Mark certified acoustics, this unit remains highly practical for tight residential boundaries where noise compliance and strict efficiency are required.
Form Factor, Pipework, and Refrigerant Considerations
The physical footprint sits at a uniform 1095mm width by 518mm depth, with unit height scaling from 798mm on the 4/5kW chassis (86kg) to 1008mm on the 8/10kW chassis (110kg max). A solid concrete slab or heavy-duty cantilever wall bracket arrangement with suitable anti-vibration mounts is essential to support the wet operating weight. Factory-sealed R32 refrigerant charge is 0.88kg for the 4kW and 5kW models, rising to 1.47kg on the 8kW and 10.3kW models. As a sealed monobloc unit, the primary refrigerant loop remains entirely outside the thermal envelope, keeping installation strictly on the hydraulic side.
Primary hydraulic connections at the outdoor unit are 28mm flow and return. Connecting these directly into legacy 22mm or microbore distribution runs usually bottlenecks primary flow rates, driving up circulation pump head and triggering delta-T low-flow lockouts. Successfully retrofitting these units into existing housing stock generally requires targeted heat pump system pipework upgrades to widen primary distribution runs, or the addition of a close-coupled buffer/low-loss header to hydraulically decouple the heat pump circuit from high-resistance internal pipework.
Halo Air Controls & Pre-Plumbed Cylinder Integration
Pairing the Ideal Logic Air with the matching Ideal pre-plumbed cylinder reduces site installation labour by 1 to 2 days. Arriving fully wired with an integrated buffer tank, 3-port valve, magnetic filter, and G3 safety kit pre-mounted, it eliminates on-site pipe fabrication mistakes while guaranteeing primary circuit flow requirements. For properties requiring alternative configurations, choosing appropriately sized compatible heat pump unvented cylinders with high-surface-area heat exchanger coils is vital for swift DHW recovery.
System management relies on the proprietary Halo Air thermostat for total climate control:
- Automated Weather Compensation: Continuously adjusts target flow temperatures against real-time ambient outdoor readings, forcing the compressor to run at its highest possible SCOP.
- Remote Fault Diagnostics: Provides full telemetry and live error logging over Wi-Fi, allowing engineers to isolate issues remotely and prevent wasted site call-outs.
- Multi-Zone Scheduling: Supports single or dual-zone heating control via a high-contrast room interface and the dedicated mobile app.
Warranty, MCS Compliance, and BUS Grant Eligibility
The Ideal Logic Air includes up to a 7-year parts and labour warranty. Activating full coverage requires mandatory product registration within 30 days of commissioning. Maintaining this extended protection requires documented annual servicing by a qualified heating engineer. Missed annual services or late registration will reduce warranty coverage to standard terms.
The complete line-up holds official MCS certification under the KIWA 00027 registration series. Independent testing confirms compliance with strict UK performance and manufacturing standards. Active MCS registration is mandatory for accessing UK government renewable energy subsidies.
Choosing this accredited unit unlocks the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant. The grant is deducted directly from the final installation cost by your MCS-accredited installer. Property owners can review requirements using our full breakdown of Boiler Upgrade Scheme eligibility.
