> Ed Miliband will ban the sale of underfloor heating systems deemed to be using too much power in his latest net zero drive.
> The Energy Secretary has also set his sights on electric towel rails, gas fires and storage heaters, with plans for new market controls designed to cut carbon emissions.
> He wants to bring in new energy efficiency requirements that will result in more than a third of so-called “space heating systems” becoming illegal to sell.
> New rules will make temperature controls mandatory, while other regulations will mean some towel rails will only be allowed to operate for six hours a day.
> It will push consumers to more costly modern alternatives that use smart functions to help limit energy use, such as restricting heating to certain times of day, or cutting a heating system off completely, for instance when there is a draught that would make it inefficient to continue running.
Or, indeed, when there is a power shortage coming….
