Ban on non-environmentally friendly boilers now in force

A ban on boilers that do not meet the parameters of the third and higher emission class comes into force in Czechia as of September 1st. Despite this there are still over 150,000 old boilers in Czech households, the ctk news agency reported. According to manufacturers, the demand for replacements has increased dramatically in recent weeks, but the vast majority of orders could not be processed before the ban came into force. Fines for heating with a non-environmentally friendly boiler can reach up to CZK 50,000, and can be issued repeatedly.
