Big changes are coming for new homes — and the clock is ticking. From March 2027 the Future Homes Standard takes effect, meaning only homes with planning permission before that date can fit a gas boiler, and even then installation must be completed by March 2028. Our heating expert explains exactly what this means for your project and how to choose the right low-carbon system, from air and ground source heat pumps to solar PV, battery storage and smart controls. Plus, an introduction to 'Aim for Zero': whether to manage your own electro-tech or hand it to an energy company offering zero-bills guarantees of up to ten years. Join us to future-proof your new home.
