The move towards heat pumps
Our net zero commitment
The UK government is committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This will mark the end of Britain's contribution to global warming. It's a huge step in the right direction, and we all need to play our part.
A focus on sustainability
In order to meet the UK's target of net zero by 2050, switching to sustainable energy is critical. This means we need to replace our petrol and diesel cars with electric vehicles. And we need to swap gas and oil-fired boilers with low-carbon alternatives.
It is likely that the government will implement a ban on gas boilers as soon as 2025.
Moving away from boilers
Currently, the gas and oil boiler ban in 2025 only applies to newbuild properties. But it is clear that the government is planning to encourage wider uptake of alternative solutions.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which launched in May 2022, provides UK homeowners with a financial incentive to switch to a lower-carbon heating system. And the latest ECO+ scheme, launched in November 2022, will see hundreds of thousands of homes receive new insulation.
Possible total ban
There is a possibility that, in time, the government will put a complete gas boiler ban in place. The home heating market is definitely moving towards this final destination, and we all must be ready for this shift towards renewables.
Now is the time to make sure you are fully trained and ready for the switch.
Introducing heat pumps
Quite simply, heat pump technology is changing the face of home heating.
