Boiler Tax to be scrapped - but should not have been implemented in the first place
Rob discusses the impact of government policies on the cost of boilers and heat pumps for homeowners, landlords, and tenants. The government's Clean Heat Market Mechanism, aimed at promoting heat pumps and reducing carbon emissions, has led to fines for boiler manufacturers if heat pump installation targets are not met. In response, boiler companies have increased their prices, passing on the cost to consumers. The episode highlights the disconnect between what the government wants and what people actually need, ultimately resulting in increased expenses for everyone involved.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"Boiler manufacturers have been hiking prices of gas boilers because the government announced penalties for missed heat pump installation targets."
"Government want one thing, and they're telling you they want one thing. But when you get boots on the ground, what people want and what the government say you want are two different things."
"This has all come from government getting in the way of itself for no reason. People wouldn't be having these increases in the cost of paying for boilers if this clean heat market mechanism hadn't possibly been introduced."
"The government are trying to tell people that they want one thing, and what people actually want are two different things."
