Often, warm standby is the most effective way for an operator to maintain boiler availability as long as there is external steam to do so. Hot Standby is a vessel at operating temperature and pressure. This is achieved through the use of the boiler's integrated burner.

If the off period is short -- typically just long enough for the burner to shut down and restart, the loss is very small, as the boiler and the piping never really cool down at all. If the off time gets longer, the efficiency starts to suffer, as it is necessary to bring things back up to temperature.
