New legislative changes Isle of Man

It will no longer be permissible to install new or pre-used fossil fuel heating system in new domestic or non-domestic buildings. This also includes installing such a system in a new extension. However, it would be permissible to connect onto an existing fossil fuel heating system and run the connecting pipework and install heat emitters in a new extension. The ruling also does not apply to the replacement or installation of new fossil fuel heating system in existing buildings.
