There causing too much Global Climate Footprint thingy aparently, so what we going to do then run the Home Heating with Electrickery?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

In the old days they would have made a nice blaze using local peasants.

This is how some of my ancestors met their end.

Who needs heat in the home anyway?

Ice on the inside of the windows during the winter months was pretty common when I was a kid. Character building they used to call it.

Of course they are. And we'll all be driving electric cars by then.

Yeah, that's the plan with new builds, and everyone will be only too happy to pay extra for their heating and cooking..............yeah, like hell !!!

[Kevin Wood]

'cos Electrickery is "zero carbon".

Oh, wait!

[Doctor Gollum]

This should opps up the tree hugging salad munchers...

It'll even fit in the garage so can heat the water at the same time...

Which is nice 

[scimmy_man]

just the thing to charge a tesla

[Sir Tigger KC]

If you have a non condensing boiler look after it and keep it going as long as possible, as after banning gas boilers in new builds they'll ban replacing the boiler in existing properties. 

I think that this is already the case with oil fired boilers?   

[Kevin Wood]

Sounds like a heat pump manufacturer has installed himself in a tidy lobbying position. Or it's wishful thinking "news" from the Grauniad.

I've got 2 Worcester Bosch greenstar 30HE mothballed in my bottom workshop
(Last of the good robust /well made Boilers IMHO) ready for IF my Worcester  240 ever dies 
I think the grand plan is for every house to have solar panels to charge the batteries in milk float cars ,which will then be used as a battery pack to run the home 
but home solar is too costly to install at the moment , and i doubt it will be economically viable in 6 years ,even with air source heat pumps
maybe the fracking companies need to install the pipes for ground source heat pumps while they have the drills out

Cant help feeling sorry for the poor Sod who has just spent a few Grand to become Gas Safe in His new Career, or worst still in addition has just got rid of his Diesel Van in favor of an Electric one

Saw aguy in a council house have the mother of all heat exchangers installed. Took nine men a day to do. Works really well. Gas the fuel of the devil? Solar panel prices have plummetted butcouldbe a problem.......
