Here at Bournemouth Boilers, we will be ready for the Hydrogen-gas Change over. Bournemouth Boilers have been installing Gas Boilers for many years,
You might have heard about the latest plans to switch the UK’s gas supply to hydrogen – and that the gas boilers we currently use will eventually be phased out.
But what does that mean for you and your home? And does it mean you’ll have to fork out for a completely new kind of boiler?
Here at Bournemouth Boilers we’ll bring you up to speed with the latest plans. We’ll explain why it’s happening, when the changes are likely to start – and why it’s good news for everyone.
Are gas boilers being banned soon?Short answer: no, not really.
You might have seen headlines about natural gas boilers being banned from 2025. But that’s just for new-build properties, not for existing homes and boilers.
In fact, as you’ll see from the estimated timescales below, a boiler you buy today will probably use natural gas for all its working lifetime.
After that, we the two main ways to heat your home are likely to be with a heat pump or with a boiler that runs – at least partly – on hydrogen.
The big switch to hydrogenThe UK government is looking at plans to replace natural gas with hydrogen gas – because it’s much more environmentally friendly.
But if this happens, it will be a gradual process that takes years, rather than something that changes all at once. And that means it shouldn’t be extra hassle or expense for homeowners. In fact, some of the biggest boiler manufacturers Here at Bournemouth Boilers and here at in the UK have promised that hydrogen-ready boilers won’t cost any more than a regular gas-powered boiler.1
Nobody knows the exact timescales, and a lot of the technical details still need to be ironed out, but the change is likely to happen in three main stages.
The first step in the hydrogen transition is likely to be introducing a 20% hydrogen blend into the UK mains supply. Most boilers will be able to use this hydrogen blend without any problems. In fact, many new boilers are already labelled ‘hydrogen-blend ready’ ahead of this first move towards hydrogen.
In the meantime, boiler manufacturers are working on a new ‘hydrogen-ready’ standard which will mean the UK can switch as easily as possible to 100% hydrogen much further down the line. The important thing to realise is that ‘hydrogen-ready’ boilers are still in development, whereas ‘hydrogen-blend ready’ boilers are widely available Here at Bournemouth Boilers.
The government is currently carrying out trials to work through all the cost, feasibility and safety issues – and they’re expected to make firm decisions on what role hydrogen will play in heating the UK’s homes by 2026.
