We're excited to announce our partnership with Hive!
Our ZEB heat battery boiler is now featured on Hive's website, helping more homeowners discover a smarter, cleaner way to heat their homes.

As we work towards a future beyond fossil-fuel heating, partnerships like this play an important role in raising awareness of innovative technologies and making low-carbon heating solutions more accessible.

We're delighted to be working with Hive to introduce heat battery technology to more UK households, giving homeowners greater choice in how they heat their homes.

A landmark moment for heat batteries and the future of low-carbon heating. 🎉

Last week marked a significant milestone as Parliament approved a crucial legislative step towards including heat batteries in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, paving the way for a £2,500 government grant.

For tepeo, this is more than a policy development. It's recognition of a technology we've believed in, invested in and championed for years.

Decarbonising home heating is a complex challenge, and one that will require a range of technologies working towards a shared goal. We believe that recognising and supporting heat batteries in addition to heat pumps is an important part of accelerating that transition.

This decision is a huge step forward, recognising the valuable role heat batteries can play in the UK's low-carbon heating future.

We're incredibly proud of what this means for tepeo, for the wider industry and, most importantly, for households looking to move away from fossil fuel heating. 💛

What happens when you combine a heat battery boiler with solar panels, home battery storage and a smart electricity tariff? 🏡 One ZEB homeowner has been tracking their heating data for almost three years, and the results are really interesting.

During 2025/26, they managed to shift 94% of their ZEB's electricity consumption to cheaper off-peak periods, while still delivering 83% of their heat during peak hours, when they needed it.

Their estimated space-heating electricity cost for the period? Just £638.

What makes this case study particularly interesting is how the homeowner has adapted their setup over time, adding underfloor heating, solar panels and home battery storage. It demonstrates how different technologies can complement one another, and why looking at a home's energy use as a whole can make such a difference.

Of course, every home is different. But this is a great real-world example of how flexible electric heating can work alongside other technologies to make the most of cheaper electricity.

We've taken a deep dive into the homeowner's data, including running costs, heating demand and comparisons with other electric heating options.

What do homeowners really want from low-carbon heating? 🏠

A recent Nesta study asked 7,000 people across Britain about their attitudes towards heat pumps and low-carbon heating.

Cost, comfort and reliability came through strongly. Homeowners also wanted to understand the full installation upfront, feel confident the technology would work in their property, and have more control over how energy is used at home.

The research focused on heat pumps, but many of those questions will feel familiar to anyone considering moving away from gas, oil or LPG.

So, in our latest blog, we’ve looked at some of Nesta’s key findings - and where a heat battery boiler like the ZEB could fit into the picture. ⚡

From smart charging and thermal energy storage to familiar radiators, installation requirements and upfront costs, it’s a useful read if you’re exploring your low-carbon heating options.

We were delighted to join Nathan Gambling on the latest episode of BetaTalk! 🎙️
Our founder and CEO, Johan du Plessis, sat down with Nathan for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of home heating, the role of flexibility in , and why consumer choice is so important as we transition to low-carbon heating.

From the story behind tepeo to the technology powering our ZEB heat battery boiler, the conversation explores:

🔹 How heat batteries work and the role of thermal storage in a flexible energy system
🔹 How the ZEB can optimise energy consumption and work alongside other heating technologies
🔹 The importance of real-world data in shaping heating solutions and decarbonisation policy
🔹 Why offering households a choice of low-carbon heating technologies matters

We're passionate about making low-carbon heating accessible to more homes, recognising that different properties and households have different needs.

A big thank you to Nathan for having us and for continuing to create space for these important industry conversations.

We’re proud to be working with Aira to help more households move away from gas, oil and LPG.

Heat pumps are an excellent solution for many homes, and Aira is leading the way in making them more accessible across the UK. But clean heating is not one-size-fits-all.

For homes where a heat pump may not be the right fit, our heat battery boiler can offer another practical route.

This partnership is about keeping customers moving forward, rather than leaving them at a dead end when one technology is not right for their home.

Different technologies. Shared mission: helping more homes say goodbye to fossil-fuel heating.

Our Engineering Director, Chris Carver, has been featured in the Energy Institute’s New Energy World, exploring the engineering behind the tepeo ZEB and the role could play in decarbonising UK heating.

The ZEB heat battery boiler stores 40kWh of thermal energy in a ceramic core, while predictive software helps it charge when electricity is cheaper, greener and more abundant.

That means heat batteries can decouple electricity demand from heat demand - giving homes heat when they need it, without necessarily adding to peak grid demand. As heating becomes increasingly electrified, that kind of flexibility will matter more and more.

For the engineers, energy geeks and early adopters among us, the full technical deep dive is well worth a read: https://hubs.la/Q04ycY_y0

Kevin’s home is a great example of what can happen when you look at heating as part of a wider energy setup. 🌱

With solar, EV charging, air-to-air heat pumps and smart energy monitoring already in place, Kevin had made significant progress reducing his reliance on gas - including cutting his gas consumption by 65%.

But he wanted to go one step further: the ZEB became the final piece that allowed him to disconnect from gas completely.

Kevin discovered tepeo through Eco Matters in the Maidenhead Advertiser and, just four months later, had his ZEB installed.

Kevin admits he enjoys checking his apps to see how much he’s saving. On his current 4p/kWh off-peak tariff, he calculates that a full 40kWh ZEB charge costs a maximum of just £1.60.

A great example of different low-carbon technologies working together.

Do you think about your boiler in isolation - or as part of your whole home energy setup?

is a good reminder that is about more than the products we put into the world - it’s also about what happens to the materials behind them.

At tepeo, our mission is to help reduce the carbon emissions associated with heating UK homes. But as we grow, we also need to look closely at the environmental impact of our own operations.

In 2025, 100% of waste collected from our Wokingham HQ and production facility was diverted from landfill, and we’ve maintained that rate so far in 2026.

For Recycle Week, we’re sharing a closer look at what happens behind the scenes - from materials left over during ZEB production to the way key components can be recovered and reused at the end of a unit’s life.

It’s one part of a much bigger challenge: growing responsibly while helping more homes move away from fossil-fuel heating.

Sustainability shouldn’t stop with the technology we create.

At tepeo, we’re working to reduce the carbon emissions associated with heating UK homes - but we also think carefully about the impact of how we operate.

In 2025, 100% of waste from our site was kept out of landfill, with a 69% recycling rate. We’ve continued that progress into 2026, while also designing the ZEB with end-of-life recyclability in mind.

Our recent article looks at how we’re reducing waste, keeping materials in use and taking a more responsible approach to resource use across the business.
