Investments being made into the UK’s heat pump industry may be put at risk if the government scraps its so-called boiler tax, industry experts have warned. Reports emerged over the weekend that the government’s clean heat mechanism, which would see boiler manufacturers face fines if they did not produce enough heat pumps, was to be scrapped amid concerns that boiler costs were increasing for consumers. The news has been met with concern from many in the sector, with the government accused of caving to pressure from the fossil fuel industry.
