As in the above question really. A forum member recently asked if we should be fitting duty and standby for vulnerable customers.
What I'd like to ask is what costs would this add to the job. Is it a case of extra boiler cost plus a couple of extra pipes (say £1000 in typical domestic setting) or does the cost of flue, controls and significant extra plumbing mean it would be a VERY expensive option?
Also, is it likely that the spare boiler would essentially remain as new until the old one breaks down, or would a twin boiler installation have a similar lifespan to a single boiler installation?
I thought it was an interesting point of discussion worthy of a separate thread...
