THE Tory government’s green heat pump plan “ducks the hard questions on the future of home heating” and will cause unemployment and rising bills, GMB warned today.
The general union slammed Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng’s announcement of £5,000 grants to help 90,000 households transition from carbon-hungry gas boilers as falling far short of the amount required.
Typical heat pump installations currently cost between £6,000 and £18,000, depending on home size, according to the BBC.
