I don’t think people would have taken kindly to having to pay thousands of pounds for a new boiler before they needed one

Were you happy to be replacing your stuff earlier than you had to in order to meet these targets? If so, you must be rolling in it, and nice to see you’re all right, Jack.
What about the many working class people who can’t afford to do that?

Existing working gas boilers were not needing to be replaced.
From 2020.

How will we heat our homes in the future?
The Government's recently released Heat and Building Strategy Energy has confirmed the phase out date for gas boiler in existing homes is 2035*. All newly installed heating systems from 2035 will to have be low-carbon, for example heat pumps, which effectively bans gas boilers. Just to be clear, this does not mean you will have to remove a working gas boiler in 2035, but you will not be able to replace it with another gas boiler. NB gas boilers in new build homes will be banned from 2025.

Are gas boilers being phased out in 2025?
In short, no. The government’s proposed legislation only covers new build homes that are constructed after 2025, meaning that such properties will be heated using alternative sources, such as heat pumps.
You will still be able to buy A-rated gas boilers and have them installed in existing homes after 2025.
Will gas boilers be banned from 2025?
No, gas boilers will not be banned from 2025. In the future, it is likely that gas boilers will be phased out in order to facilitate the transition to net zero. But that will only happen when alternatives are much cheaper and infrastructure has been improved to such a degree that we do not need to rely on gas to heat our homes and hot water.
A rated, fuel efficient gas boilers will still be on sale after 2025 and will offer a cost effective option for those looking to replace an ageing heating system.

No-one will be forced to remove their existing fossil fuel boilers, with this transition of the next 14 years seeing the UK’s households gradually move away from fossil fuel boilers in an affordable, practical and fair way, enabling homeowners to easily make these green choices when the time comes to replace their old boiler.
