UK taxpayers will foot half of the bills for replacing gas boilers with heat pumps in households as the government announced new subsidies on Monday.

From April 2022, those who wish to install low carbon heating systems such as heat pumps will have their installation costs slashed by £5,000 ($6,913) through a £450 million ($622 million) 3-year Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
