Gas boilers will be no longer for sale.


So what will happen to existing housing, that is not well insulated
and cannot easily be so, when the existing boiler fails?


IIUC, it'll be new build only - can't see a source for the OP's story.


It is new build at the moment, but as the market shrinks, manufacturers
will stop making gas boilers, even if governments don't ban them
completely - look how quickly 4* and then LRP disappeared, leaving
people with older, maybe classic vehicles having to use unsuitable
unleaded petrol. Now it all has 5% ethanol in and will, at some stage,
be going up to 10%, despite E10 fuel attacking the fuel lines and brass
components of older fuel systems and severely damaging them.
