The media has been full of stories recently about a potential BAN on gas boilers by 2035.
In new homes, the plan is to bring that date forward a decade.
We’ve had loads of enquiries already about the various greener alternatives and in fact, we are installing a hydrogen boiler for a customer this week – this is seriously clever kit.
However, take-up of the new greener tech might prove a step too far for many households, unless there are incentives as they can be rather expensive, depending on your set-up.
Well, there may be good news on the horizon.
A report in yesterday’s Daily Mirror revealed potential plans for a new “Clean Heats Grant” that will…
“pay households up to £7,000 to replace their gas boilers with energy efficient alternatives as part of the drive towards net-zero.”

At Prime Time Boilers, the team has been expecting an announcement for some time on this. In fact, the industry was initially expecting the figure to be closer to a maximum of £4,000 to make the nation’s homes more eco-friendly.
With more than half of Brits saying they cannot afford the heat pumps which are the likely swap for the traditional gas boilers, this latest news is a HUGE boost.
It almost doubles the cash on offer to help make our homes more energy efficient and sustainable, as we do our bit to help the planet.
Don’t get too excited just yet, this is still being considered by Boris and Co but it does sound positive.
In the UK, hydrogen boilers are still in the testing phase but we’ve got our hands on some incredible kit that is the first “hydrogen ready” boiler in the UK.
