Don’t get me wrong, I think we will be moving in that direction, but I don’t believe HMG will be undertaking your assertion by driving the price of gas up sharply to do this, unless, in parallel, they have a long term policy (rather than the current subsidy which runs for two years) of providing grants/subsidies for heat pump replacement installations.

The problem with these schemes is private rented properties seem to lose out, home owners sign up, landlords arent interested though, council homes get the work done so what happens to that gap? it doesnt get plugged? Supposedly the EPC legislation should deal with this but it isnt actively enforced.
