I think they are going to be banned from 2030 and they say that the average boiler lasts about ten years, so we will all have to eventually move over (unless they are as lucky as you've been with your boiler)!
There's currently a Government grant towards heat pumps of £5,000- but that still means paying out about £7,000.
That's not economic for my expected lifespan. With the passage of time though, as all homes will have alternative systems, this will becom less relevant.
I think it would be prudent of the Government to increase the level of grants available to mature people, paid for by possibly cutting or withdrawing grants to younger people who will have the chance to make a profit after installing them.
