Baxi relaunch Duotec 1 with 7 year warranty

[Ray Stafford]

I'm posting this in the arms, because I am not sure that Baxi have gone public yet.

A little birdy tells me that the old Duotec 1 will be promoted from Feb - Dec 2013 with a 7 year warranty...

... but at the moment they don't have any stock!

If I were to draw a graph of our Baxi sales since the Mk1 Duotec was replaced with the GA ranges, it would look like a down-hill ski slope.

great news for Main and Ideal, who have hoovered up the old Baxi customers between them.

We heard about it informally. I phoned a senior contact at Baxi, who said "how the hell did you hear that? I was only told myself 2 days ago!"

He had stock figures and prices already to hand, so I am pretty confident its true. However, nothing is certain until the press release comes out.

Do you know roughly how much they are going to be with flue?

At the moment, they are saying same price as GA.

I must have missed that! Obviously Gas Man has the contacts!

It is confirmed - I have just spoken to their sales director, and he confirmed it. Still not on their website though.

Weird. Our informal source was also an installer. When I phoned someone quite high up in the sales side, you would have thought I had uncovered a huge state secret!

The engineers grapevine?

Thats how it happens @ WB Ray

With WB though, its because they use their WIAs as beta testers for new products.

I reckon the conversation between Baxi sales and Baxi service went something like this:

Sales team: How much would it cost to put a 7 year warranty on a Duotec 1?

Service engineer: About the same as putting a 7 day warranty on a GA

Sales team: hmmmm. Interesting....
