Dutch homes unsuitable for heat pumps still need a route off gas
The Netherlands has agreed to get homes off gas by 2050.
From 2029, homeowners who replace their central heating boiler will not all be required to install a smart hybrid heat pump.
Some homes cannot accommodate a heat pump.
That leaves their owners facing a different route to stop using gas.
