There is no plan to ban gas boilers in 2025 for existing homes, but the government has proposed legislation that will ban the installation of gas boilers in new homes built after 2025. The most likely low-carbon alternative to gas boiler heating systems is generally acknowledged to be heat pumps and heat networks, powered by renewables. Hydrogen ready boilers are also being designed to accept different gases to fuel them, with the ability to be modified in the future for 100% hydrogen use. Therefore, homes will be running on natural gas for many years to come. If you have an existing gas boiler that is still working well, there is no need to replace it, but upgrading to a more energy-efficient boiler might make sense if yours is old.
