Heat Pumps

Asked by Sir Ashley FoxConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 15 October 2024UIN 7618

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether there will be any exceptions to the planned phasing out of gas boilers in favour of heat pumps in all homes by 2035.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government’s position is not to force anyone to rip out a working boiler and will incentivise moves to cleaner, affordable heating.

The Government has started delivery of the Warm Homes Plan, which will offer grants and low interest loans to support investment in insulation, heat pumps and other home improvements to cut bills.

More detail will be set out in due course.
