How do I prepare my Keston boiler for winter?

Run the boiler and radiators at maximum temperature for approximately 15 minutes to identify any problems. Check visually for signs of damage, leaks, or loose connections. Bleed your radiators to release trapped air. Check the pressure gauge and repressurise if below 1.0 bar. Insulate exposed condensate pipework to prevent freezing.

How can I save on energy bills with my Keston boiler?

Schedule an annual service to maintain peak efficiency. Keep the boiler pressure correct and bleed radiators regularly. Use programmable or smart thermostats to avoid heating when the home is empty. Turn radiators down or off in rooms that are rarely used. Consider lowering the flow temperature on modern condensing boilers.

What warranty do Keston boilers have?

Keston Combi 2 and System 2 boilers come with a 5-year warranty as standard, which can be extended to 7 years when installed with a Keston System Filter and both are registered together. Keston Heat 2 boilers have a 2-year standard warranty, upgradeable to 5 years with free commissioning by Keston. Annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer is required to maintain the warranty.

Why does my Keston combi boiler preheat periodically?

Keston combi boilers have a preheat function that fires the boiler briefly, approximately every 90 minutes, to keep water in the hot water calorifier warm. This reduces waiting time for hot water at the tap. If the boiler is installed in a bedroom or noise-sensitive area, the preheat function can be switched off using the preheat switch on the boiler.

How do I reset my Keston boiler after a fault?

For most Keston models, press the Restart button on the boiler fascia. For models with a mode control knob, turn it to the Reset position, then immediately return it to the On position. Switching the boiler off and on at the mains will not clear a fault lockout.
