I think the time scale will be much longer for change but look back and compare.
Combi boilers only 40 years old. System boilers in this country since 1980s and condensing boilers here only a few years. 50 years ago it was all back boilers.
1960/70 people though warm air was the bees knees but it didn't take off
In most of the USA warm air IS the bees knees - they don't understand radiators.
So heating systems have always been changing and will continue to do so at a remarkably slow pace!
And I think technologies will change so what really does become the dominant heating model of the future is unpredictable.
I said on similar thread, hubby & are are in our 40s but with little kids we could still be at work for 20-30 years! I am confident that gas central heating as we know it will continue to be the main form of heating in British homes throughout my working life time.
