If you’re planning to buy, build, or renovate a home in the UK, there’s a date you should know: 2028.
This means that gas boilers in new building are on their way out. That might sound like a problem, but it’s actually an new opportunity. The government is offering grants up to £7,500 to help with the switch, and modern heat pumps are far better than most people realist. Get it right, and you could end up with lower energy bills and a home that’s ready for the future.
Here’s what you may need to know.
From 2028, if you’re building a new home, your heating system will need to be either a heat pump or a district heating network.
Scotland is already ahead on this, and England will follow from the end of 2027.
If you already have a gas boiler, this doesn’t affect you directly. But if you’re planning a new build or a major renovation, the direction is clear: low-carbon heating is now the standard.
The answer is: Definitely!
Recent data from Octopus Energy surveyed over 1,800 UK heat pump owners
85% were happy with how warm their home felt (compared to 80% for gas boiler owners).
66% were happy with running costs (compared to less than half for gas owners).
Modern heat pumps are quiet, reliable, and perform well even during cold snaps. The old reputation simply doesn’t match what’s available today.
Upfront cost has always been the main barrier, but that’s changed.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme now offers £7,500 toward an air source heat pump. That grant alone often brings the final cost close to what you’d pay for a new gas boiler.
When you add smart tariffs and better efficiency, the long-term running costs can be lower than gas—especially with energy prices staying unpredictable.
If you’re going to install a heat pump, SPRSUN has been making thermal systems for over 26 years. Their pumps are designed to handle real-world use, not just lab conditions.
Built For Cold Weather
Their Full DC Inverter heat pumps work reliably down to -25°C. The intelligent defrost system means performance won’t drop when you need it most.
Portable Control System ---SPRSUN Self-developed Mobile APP
You can control your heat pump from your phone, so you can adjust temperatures, monitor energy use, and see what’s happening from anywhere. It’s not just a gadget—it gives you real control over your bills.
Exclusive Quiet Zone Technology
SPRSUN’s noise-reduction technology keeps the outdoor unit with Whisper-Quiet Operation.
It Does More Than Heat
Many models handle space heating, cooling (which matters more in UK summers now), and hot water. Real-world efficiency can hit a COP above 3.0—for every unit of electricity you put in, you get over three units of heat out.
UK Market Aapproved
SPRSUN systems meet MCS and UKCA standards. That matters for installers and for your peace of mind.
The government is clear: the direction of travel is towards electrification. With the Warm Homes Plan aiming to lift 1 million households out of fuel poverty and new protections for renters coming into force, the value of an energy-efficient home is only going to increase .
Choosing a system like SPRSUN Heat Pump isn’t just about complying with regulations. It’s about investing in a system that aligns with the MCS and UKCA standards—certifications that matter for installers and for your own peace of mind . It’s about choosing a system that has been tested in European markets, where standards for efficiency and performance are among the highest in the world.
If you’re building a new home, the choice is effectively made for you: you must install a low-carbon heating system!
If you’re retrofitting, Don’t miss this golden opportunity. Grant with £7,500 on the table and gas clearly on the way out, waiting might cost you more in the long run!
The government’s Warm Homes Plan is also putting £15 billion into home upgrades, with more support on the way. An efficient, electric home is only becoming more valuable!
The move away from gas is happening. By 2028, it will be the standard for new homes. But this isn’t a restriction—it’s an opportunity. An opportunity to build homes that are cheaper to run, more comfortable to live in, and less vulnerable to volatile fossil fuel prices.
If you’re planning your next project, take the time to look at the technology. Speak to MCS-certified installers who have experience with these systems. And when you compare the options, look beyond the upfront price tag. Look at the build quality, the smart features, the quiet operation, and the ability to handle a cold snap.
The future of home heating is clean, electric, and surprisingly warm. That’s where SPRSUN makes its case. It’s a brand that combines years of heat pump R&D expertise with a clear focus on what homeowners actually need: reliable, efficient, and intelligent comfort.
