Get your £5K grant & start saving for your heat pump before the government gas boiler tax kicks in due to the ‘Net Zero Carbon Emissions’ policy. It will put around an extra £170/annum on the already expensive gas bill.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58959045
thenational.scot/news/natio … ent-plans/Another example (like battery powered vehicles) of replacing working tech with tech that doesn’t work as well. Apparently homes will need more insulation to work effectively with heat pumps. Yes, because heat pumps are nowhere near as capable as gas boilers. But cost a fortune to buy and run…
Makes you wonder where all this “renewable” electricity for cars and heat pumps - plus the demands of businesses and industry is going to come from. My guess is they have a contract lined up with Cloud Cuckoo Land for it all.

Anything with a fossil fuel emission is going to take a big carbon tax hit in the coming years, Since buildings were included in the ETS (emission trading system) they now have a ‘Carbon Pricing’ tax if they’re heated/cooled by fossil fuel’s supplied by your energy provider.
Yep… Excuse to tax us…
And when everyone has heat pumps and EVs it will be a case of “ooh… they’re more polluting than we thought.” And bang… Tax will go up.
Take EVs. Atm fairly cheap to run, though not to buy. But when the demand for electric goes through the roof, so will the price. And generating all that electric via wind, water power and solar power seems unlikely to be enough to meet the need, certainly for the foreseeable. It will be interesting watching yet another government disaster unfold…

You’re right electricity is going to get more expensive, More & more countries especially the south eastern Asia countries who are signed up to this Paris Accord/Net Zero policy are shuttering coal fired power stations and changing them to gas fired for the interim period which means a big price hike in the gas markets due to supply & demand, I cant see the price of gas coming down any time soon.
