The Renewable Heat Incentive is also scheduled to end in March 2022 and the Government is also changing legislation to ban gas boilers being installed in new-builds by 2025.

Qualified installers and equipment are currently in short supply leaving many homeowners worried that installations could take months or even years. The cost of a renewable heating system is also higher than a gas boiler meaning some homeowners would struggle to support decarbonisation after cancelling the Renewable Heat Incentive. At Trigen, the team is committed to targeting decarbonisation and utilising renewable technologies, as well as continuing to offer support and quality workmanship to make the process easier for homeowners and businesses.
