Why does quality manufacturing matter?
When it comes to boilers, quality manufacturing can make all the difference. Here, Charlie Mowbary, Senior Product Manager at Keston explains why build quality matters and the impact it can have on performance, reliability and longevity over time.
Why is manufacturing quality important in boilers?
A boiler is a significant investment that needs to perform reliably for at least 10 to 15 years, so the way it’s designed, built and tested all play a key role in its overall efficiency, reliability and long-term performance.
Why does British manufacturing matter?
British manufacturing has a long-standing reputation for engineering, quality and technical expertise. In the heating industry specifically, this translates to greater control over the manufacturing process along with rigorous testing and consistently high quality standards.
How does Keston maintain manufacturing standards?
Keston boilers are manufactured in the UK in line with relevant industry regulations and quality control processes. At Ideal Heating’s state-of-the-art facility in Hull, manufacturing is closely managed by industry experts to maintain consistent build quality throughout every step of the process.
Why is testing important?
Testing is a key part of Keston’s manufacturing process. Throughout development and production, boilers are thoroughly checked and monitored to help ensure consistent performance and long-term reliability. This process verifies that each model operates safely and efficiently.
Can manufacturing affect warranties?
Yes. Manufacturing quality and product testing both play a key role in warranty terms. The more rigorously a boiler is tested and quality checked, the greater the confidence in its long-term reliability. For example, Keston domestic boilers can be offered with warranties of up to seven years* when installed with a Keston system filter.
Why is quality support important?
Good technical support can make a real difference, especially during more complex installations or when troubleshooting on site. That’s why the Keston team is available 364 days a year to offer help and advice whenever it’s needed. Quality manufacturing is more than just the product; it’s about the support behind it too.
