Landlord Legislation: Phasing Out Oil And Coal Heating

The Phase-Out of Gas Grid Fossil Fuel Heating

The UK government will begin phasing out gas grid fossil fuel heating from 2026, less than three years from now. Homeowners and landlords have little time to find a reliable and sustainable solution.

Off-Gas Grid Homes and Their Challenges

Currently, a million homes in England rely on off-gas grid fossil fuel heating, using some of the highest carbon heating fuels, such as oil and coal. These homes face significant challenges in meeting new energy standards, but alternatives like Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) offer a viable solution.

The Benefits of Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs)

Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) provide low-carbon heating solutions for off-grid homes, including historic buildings. They offer consistent performance throughout the year, unaffected by external temperatures. Additionally, GSHPs are highly reliable, cost-effective, and need less maintenance than traditional heating systems.

The Growing Popularity of GSHPs

The popularity of GSHPs is on the rise due to several factors. These systems are highly versatile, with the ability to draw heat from various sources such as the ground, lakes, and mineshafts. They can be connected to solar panels for increased energy efficiency, have long equipment lifespans, and lower running and maintenance costs.

Cost and Efficiency Benefits of GSHPs

The installation and running costs of GSHPs are competitive with other heating solutions, and they offer significant long-term savings. As electricity prices are rebalanced to incentivize the electrification of heat, households using GSHPs stand to benefit from lower bills and government incentives, such as the Heat Training Grant for installers.

Ringley’s Support for Sustainable Property Development

Ringley supports clients during the build lifecycle and in managing their investment properties. The company tracks its progress in alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and focuses on reducing carbon emissions from institutionally owned property assets.

Dangerous cladding will be replaced on private blocks - at last
Leaseholders in 156 private blocks across the UK have finally received good news: the government has pledged £200 million to replace dangerous ACM cladding, similar to that used on Grenfell Tower. Building owners now have a three-month window to access these funds. This marks the end of a prolonged debate on who should bear the costs of remediation, a debate that has dragged on since the Grenfell fire in June 2017.
