Why such a big push to install air source heat pumps now?

The government has set a legally binding target for the UK to be carbon neutral by 2050. Home heating is one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions in the UK and this means the heating industry needs to do everything it can to reduce the use of fossil fuels over the next 30 years. Heat pumps and appliances that do not burn fossil fuels will have to be fitted at some point, so it’s better to get ahead of the curve.
