Gas boilers are to be banned in most new homes by 2027 as part of legislation being brought forward by the Government. The Telegraph <\/em>has the story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Under the so-called Future Homes Standard, which aims to slash carbon emissions across households, developers must ensure that new-builds are only fitted out with electric heat pumps or non-gas alternatives.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rules regarding the gas boiler ban are expected to be announced as early as May next year, although they are unlikely to be enforced until the relevant legislation takes effect in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would be followed by a 12-month delay to ensure housebuilders are prepared for the switchover, as first reported by the Financial Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed ban comes after the previous Tory Government launched a consultation on the Future Homes Standard policy last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new legislation aims to reduce carbon emissions across all new homes by up to 80%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the decision to outlaw gas boilers has raised concerns over whether the heat pump supply chain can grow quickly enough to match Sir Keir Starmer\u2019s bid to build 300,000 new homes a year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Worth reading in full<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently only about 35,000 heat pumps are installed each year. Boosting that to 300,000 a year, nearly 10 times more, in three years seems like a stretch. The bigger problem of course is that people don\u2019t like heat pumps because they don\u2019t heat the house or water very well and, with electricity prices high, are not cheap to run.<\/p>\n\n\n
