You won’t have escaped the headlines, wholesale gas prices have increased by 250% since the beginning of this year, whilst energy prices do fluctuate, this is bringing a new level of fluctuations in energy costs, which is going to affect homeowners.

These gas price increases will mean millions of homes will face having to pay some of the highest energy bills for the past decade.

Is this a start of the changes within the energy industry and should you start looking at alternative heating systems?

The government has already announced from 2025 it will be banning installations of gas boilers in new build properties. As a result, heat pumps which are a more eco-friendly alternative are set to be the solution to help the UK hit climate change targets and getting to carbon net zero by 2050.
