Baxi relaunch Duotec 1 with 7 year warranty

[Ray Stafford]

Are they not producing the neta then no more

Apparently they will continue with the Netatec because it is "selling like hot cakes on specification work".

Since we hardly supply any of that sort of work, I couldn't confirm or deny.

The funny thing is that back in December, we offered to buy a large quantity of Duotec 1s, enough to justify a production run. They turned it down because "that wasnt the way they saw their product line developing".

Amazing the difference that a few weeks (and a new sales director) makes innit?

Newbuild - housing association - MOD - universities - that sort of thing, where the boiler is specified by an idiot with a spreadsheet, rather than an idiot with a spanner.

You can add Titaniums to that by the amount what was in the back of a LWB. Sprinter on my drive, when he dropped me some column rads! Van full to top with them loads of 40 KW models too!

titanium is a very good price,just dont suit me to fit 5 year warranty boilers if you catch my drift

think this is unfair though tbh,the gold is always cheaper than the duotec,so if independents cant buy the gold but only the duotec they cant compete on price,we try to support our local merchants but baxi make it very difficult to do so

I get it Mark, as you know I am a WB MAN, but those 40 kw Titaniums look great value, if they had a 7 year warranty it would make big problems for the main players!

I think that Alan Pierce (the man behind Ultimate, Mr Central Heating, Compass Heating etc) has had exclusivity on the titanium since it first came out, and has had the gold more or less to himself for some years.

Duotec 1 hasn't been exclusive, its just been difficult to get - but they are ramping up production again now. Alan's a nice guy, and I like the way he shakes the tree and challenges the nationals - a old fashioned entrepreneur. Hats off to him.
