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. :)

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?  ???  :-\

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  ;D
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  ;D
