Gas boilers in the UK will be replaced by low-carbon heating systems in all new homes built after 2025. IEA/IRENA Global Renewable Energy Policies and Measures Database © OECD/IEA and IRENA, [November 2020]

Update 2025:
The UK gas boiler ban originally proposed for 2025 has been significantly altered. As of February 2025, the key points are:
- The ban on gas boilers in new builds from 2025 has been scrapped.
- There is no enforced ban on existing gas boilers in homes.
- The government has shifted focus from mandatory bans to voluntary adoption of low-carbon heating alternatives.
- Financial incentives, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offering £7,500 grants, are being used to encourage the adoption of greener heating solutions like heat pumps.
- The Future Homes Standard, set to be introduced later in 2025, will likely include high-energy efficiency measures for new builds, potentially making gas boilers less practical but not explicitly banned.
