From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t beat them, tax them!<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price of gas boilers could rise by as much as \u00a3300 under a new government \u2018green\u2019 regime, it was warned today.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ministers want to introduce a requirement on manufacturers to push sales of heat pumps, which replace gas boilers and so cut the nation\u2019s carbon emissions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal, called the Clean Heat Market Mechanism, would set makers a target to ensure at least 4 per cent of new systems sold are heat pumps. Firms that fail to meet this target would be required to pay \u2018credits\u2019 to other manufacturers that are selling heat pumps, or else pay multiple fines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boss of Worcester Bosch says these charges will inevitably be passed on to customers in the form of higher prices on gas boilers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief executive Carl Arntzen said: \u2018The price of a boiler currently within the supply chain is anything from about \u00a3700 to \u00a31,000.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018In some cases, for the top end of our models, we\u2019re having to look at around a \u00a3300 price increase.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He likened the policy to a \u2018boiler tax\u2019 and suggested the measure was designed to increase the cost of gas boilers to bring them closer to expensive heat pumps.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
