    10 years to say no new boilers can be installed is not unrealistic.

    Says who? At the moment replacing of the boiler is a couple of grand. Replacing it with a heat pump means replacing boiler, radiators and insulating home. It is completely unrealistic.

      In 25 years of house owning I’ve never had to replace a boiler. Service…yes. Repair…yes. Never replace. I’ve even had boilers that are no longer made due to safety regs changing.

      Nobody is telling people to rip out their boilers.
