Why Upgrading Your Heating System Is Worth Considering Now
Heating accounts for around 60% of the average UK household's energy bill, making it the single biggest opportunity to reduce costs and carbon emissions in most homes. Whether your current boiler is ageing and unreliable, or you're looking to future-proof your property with a low-carbon heating solution, now is an excellent time to review your options.
​
The UK government has committed to phasing out new gas boiler installations by 2035 as part of its net zero targets. For homeowners and businesses thinking ahead, heat pumps represent the most viable long-term alternative, offering significantly lower running costs, reduced carbon emissions and eligibility for government incentives through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme*.
​
That said, a modern, high-efficiency gas boiler remains the right choice for many properties right now, and Jones & Baker will always give you an honest, unbiased recommendation based on your specific situation rather than steering you towards whichever option suits us best.

The Benefits to Ugrading Your Heating System
Lower Energy Bills
A modern A-rated boiler or heat pump can reduce your heating costs by up to 30% compared to an older, inefficient system, with savings that add up significantly over time.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Heat pumps produce significantly lower carbon emissions than gas boilers, and when powered by renewable electricity, such as solar panels, they can become almost entirely carbon neutral.
Improved Reliability
Older boilers are more prone to breakdowns, particularly in winter when you need them most. A new system means fewer callouts, lower maintenance costs and greater peace of mind.
Increased Property Value
An energy-efficient heating system improves your property's EPC rating, which increasingly impacts both property value and mortgage eligibility.
Year Round Comfort
Modern heating systems offer far greater control and consistency than older boilers — with smart thermostat compatibility, zone control and more precise temperature management throughout your home.
Pair with Solar for Maximum Savings
Heat pumps run on electricity, meaning they can be powered by solar panels, combining two of the most effective energy-saving technologies for outstanding long-term savings.
