While the application for which the Celsius 25 was designed is the same as those which other boilers are used, the Keston Celsius 25 has the added advantage of very high efficiency, and small diameter plastic flue which can be extended up to 60 metres horizontally or vertically.
The Celsius 25 features an integral pump/fan exercise function which will run the fan and pump, without firing the boiler, for 5 seconds in the event the boiler is on standby for in excess of 24 hours without firing.

Also British Gas Publications 'Guidance Notes For The Installation Of Domestic Gas Condensing Boilers' and 'Specification For Domestic Wet Central Heating Systems'.
Keston Boilers Ltd declare that there are no substances harmful to health within the appliance or used during the production of the appliance. The Celsius 25 is intended for domestic and commercial EMC environments and on a governed G20 meter supply.
See Section 1.5 - Air Intake Optional Accessories. Flue POSITION The Celsius 25 is not suitable for external installation. The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn to...

The wall on which the boiler is mounted must be of suitable load bearing capacity and must be non-combustible. The Keston Celsius 25 can be located virtually anywhere desired provided that all regulations are complied with. Because of the boiler's compact size and venting flexibility, the installation is not limited to a boiler room setting.
BOILER SIZE SELECTION The Celsius 25 will automatically adjust heat output and pump speed to match the system requirements at any given time. Efficiency and combustion levels are maintained at optimum levels throughout the possible output range. The Celsius 25 is therefore suitable for all systems with a total heat load within the maximum range of the boiler.

Where thermal stores are to be used the thermal store supplier should be consulted as to the compatibility of the thermal store with a Keston Celsius 25. Thermal store units where the boiler directly heats an open vented thermal store are not suitable for use with the Celsius 25.
