Oil boilers - what will happen

[Restinggoddess]

We live in a rural area - no mains gas
We have an oil boiler.
We did have an energy efficient representative come to discuss a move to a heat pump but the house is over 130 years old and not necessarily fit for such a method
There is some discussion about replacement oil boilers past 2026 and whether or not to ban them

If you have an oil boiler - what are your plans?
What are your predictions re houses that use oil and are not suitable for air or ground source heat pump?

@Frozenhobby I got a quote to replace my oil boiler and it was in line with yours at c£8-9k.

@frozenhobby yes, for oil. Paid about £5.5 k a couple of years ago for boiler, large hot water tank, all the pipework plus new oil tank and all the install. I asked the service guy last year what a new oil boiler would cost if we had to replace and he said, currently about £1800 for a Grant boiler, fitted.

Also, there are synthetic oils and bio oils being tested which will replace kero.

We had a new oil boiler last March (Worcester Bosch). Ours cost £6500 so your quote does seem a little high. Maybe it's area dependent. Whereabouts are you?
