Abstract

From 1968 until 1976, all users gas appliances were converted from ‘town gas’ to what was proclaimed to be a cleaner and cheaper alternative, ‘natural’, North Sea gas. Significantly, it’s interesting to note that in 1970, central heating was still regarded by many as a luxury item. The percentage of households with central heating systems in the UK was 30% though would double by 1980 and rise steadily to 96% by 2010-2015, dipping very slightly since (Statista, 2022).
