The Truth About Gas Boiler Bans in 2025

It’s no surprise — the media, government announcements, and energy companies have all said different things over the last few years. But let’s clear it up once and for all…

❌ No — gas boilers are not being banned.

In early 2025, the UK Government scrapped the plan to ban the sale of new gas boilers by 2035.

That means:

You can still replace your existing boiler when the time comes.

You won’t be forced to install a heat pump if you don’t want one.

There’s no deadline hanging over homeowners anymore.

What’s changing — and what’s not

Yes, the government still wants to encourage low-carbon heating (like heat pumps). But they’ve made it clear that switching to heat pumps is optional, not mandatory.

They’ve also extended the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme to help people who do want to switch — but that’s entirely your choice.

So if you were feeling pressured to rip out your working gas boiler, or worried about not being able to replace it in the future — you can relax.
