The Energy Bill will not make failing to comply with ‘Net Zero targets’ a criminal offence - Full Fact
Posts on social media which claim a new law will mean people can be fined £15,000 or sent to jail if they don’t comply with energy regulations misunderstand the legislation.fullfact.org
That's OK then, seeing as this current bunch always tell the truth.

Sorry for dragging up an old post, but it looks like this tax has been scrapped, or delayed. Talk of refunds for anyone who has already paid it.

The so-called boiler tax will come under scrutiny from the CMA following a disagreement among ministers over the government's approach to bolstering electric heat pump sales.
Heat pumps: 'Boiler tax' delayed from 1 April to next year
Boiler makers faced fines if they missed sales targets aimed at making home heating greener.

ask your installer nicely for some of the 150 quid he will be getting back
He did quite a few things extra that he didn’t charge me for so if he gets some money back, good for him.
I’m just annoyed with the govt for an ill thought out policy - I’m not making a political point, I could see Labour doing a similar thing. Why do governments never talk to the industry?
They do. But only for show.
A civil servant one told me (I was part of an industry body, working on an issue at the time) that "we have a duty to consult: we have no duty to take any notice".
Governments and local councils 'talk' to whoever (industry, the public, local residents) only as much as they absolutely need to to get their scheme approved and off the ground.
Big surprise, the target number of heat pumps installed has fallen way short ... who'd have thought that would happen

Have corrected you.
There can't be any smoke due to new emissions regulations.
