Us boiler engineers usually go to a breakdown the same day if we are called before 12 pm.
I expect to get about 90% of the boilers I visit going again.
Little advantage to have multiple boilers just because of possible faults. I advise that most boilers get a genuine fault once every three years. Of course that excludes user generated faults like not keeping the pressure topped up.
If the heat requirement is greater than a standard boiler of say 36 kW then there is an argument for multiple boilers. But in that case they are best controlled in a proper cascade system, so only one operates most of the time.
Sounds like a real pig's ear of controls you have there.
