10 years to say no new boilers can be installed is not unrealistic.
Says who? At the moment replacing of the boiler is a couple of grand. Replacing it with a heat pump means replacing boiler, radiators and insulating home. It is completely unrealistic.
In 25 years of house owning I’ve never had to replace a boiler. Service…yes. Repair…yes. Never replace. I’ve even had boilers that are no longer made due to safety regs changing.
Nobody is telling people to rip out their boilers.

I had to. And I wouldn’t be able to replace with the heat pump without thoroughly insulating the house and replacing all the radiators.
