Aren't the government grants artificially inflating the costs, given that you can only qualify for the grant if you use an accredited supplier / installer?
NotThamesWater-
It does feel like a bit of a racket.

The problem right now and I havent looked into it, is I’m guessing the total upgrading of a system.
The government grants thing is a shambles, it’s always cowboy firms getting in there first and taking the bite of the cherry first and lot of there work is substandard as no one checks the work they do apart from themselves.
As Howard said below these schemes always seems to be a ratchet!

They are talking about 600k a year adoption which I really will find hard to believe considering the costs even with the government grants it’s still 3x the price of a new combo upgrade. Most of the boilers rn coming out and ready to go with a bit of tweaking for a hydrogen blend and I think they are saying a ban from 2030
