Keston C30 Combi Boiler Review: The Most Versatile Boiler for Horsham, Shoreham-by-Sea, and West Sussex Homes

Hi, I'm Andrew Tyler. 


I'm a qualified gas engineer with Prime Boiler Care, and I look after boiler installations and servicing for homes across the Horsham and Adur Districts. 


That means I’m regularly working in places like Horsham, Southwater, Billingshurst, Storrington, Steyning, Henfield, Pulborough, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Southwick, and Sompting. 


I've seen a lot of different setups, and sometimes, a standard combi boiler simply won't work in a tight or awkward space.


That's why I want to talk about the Keston C30 Combi Boiler. 


If you are looking for a highly versatile new boiler installation in Horsham or an energy-efficient boiler replacement in Shoreham-by-Sea, the Keston C30 deserves your attention.


Boiler Versatility: Solving Awkward Installations in West Sussex.


The Keston C30 is an incredibly smart-looking boiler that benefits from tried and tested technology—it's almost identical to the long-running Ideal Logic Combi. 


Given that Ideal owns Keston, this gives me confidence in its core reliability.


However, the real game-changer for me as an installer, and for you as a homeowner with a tricky boiler location, is its twin-pipe flue system.


• It uses solvent-weld muPVC pipe, allowing for flue lengths up to 27 meters in a 50mm diameter pipe.


• Crucially, the flue pipe can be safely installed outside.


This unique feature solves many of the awkward combi boiler replacement jobs I encounter in older properties around Storrington and Lancing. 


If you need a boiler fitted in an unusual spot or far away from an exterior wall, the Keston C30 is often the best, most practical, and most affordable solution.


Efficiency and Savings for Your West Sussex Home.


When you're searching for a reliable boiler engineer near Steyning or low-cost boiler replacement in Henfield, efficiency is a top priority. 


The Keston C30 has a high ErP rating of 94% (Class A).


To maximise your savings on heating bills, we can install the Keston C30 with advanced controls. 


When fitted with a smart thermostat like the Nest Learning Thermostat wired via OpenTherm, the seasonal space heating efficiency can be raised to an impressive 98% ErP Class A+. 


This is what's known as load and weather compensation, and it’s a brilliant way to ensure your heating system is only using the fuel it absolutely needs. 


The boiler is also fully modulating with a wide turndown ratio of 5:1, meaning it can dial down its output when demand is low, saving you money.


Reliability and Peace of Mind.


As a trusted gas engineer in Pulborough, I only recommend products that I know will last. 


The Keston C30 comes with a 7-Year warranty when it is fitted with a Keston magnetic system filter, which is an excellent addition to protect your system from sludge and debris.


Key features that make the C30 a great choice include:


• Compact dimensions for an easy cupboard fit installation.


• Large, backlit display and user-friendly controls.


• Inbuilt filling loop and automatic bypass.


• Excellent Domestic Hot Water output of 30.30kW, providing a specific flow rate of 12.4 l/min at a 35°C temperature rise.


Overall, I rate the Keston C30 highly, particularly for its unbeatable versatility and reliability, which makes it the ideal solution for combi boiler installation in West Sussex.
