Meet the tepeo heat battery boiler, the eco-friendly alternative to a gas boiler manufactured in the UK by tepeo.
Smarter
Charges up like a battery, automatically storing heat when electricity is cheaper on a suitable off-peak tariff, then using it when your home needs warmth.
Greener
Powered purely by electricity, it is cleaner and greener than fossil fuel boilers.²
Simpler
No outdoor unit and designed to work with existing wet central heating, helping keep installation disruption to a minimum.
A new breed of boiler that works like a battery, the heat battery boiler is powered by electricity. Once charged, it stores energy at heat, ready to warm your home through your central heating system. The heat battery boiler doesn't need any outdoor space, and it can work with your existing radiators and underfloor heating avoiding massive retrofits. It's easy to use and simple to maintain - you probably won't even notice a difference day-to-day.

1. Understanding
The heat battery boiler learns how much heat your home is likely to need, factoring in local weather forecasts.
2. Adapting
It uses your tariff prices, off-peak periods and when the grid will be greenest to plan when to charge.
3. Adjusting
It keeps checking and recalculating, helping optimise when and how much it charges.
You'll need a hot water cylinder, or space for one to be installed. Where space is limited, a heat battery for hot water may be a useful option. You'll also need radiators or underfloor heating - known as a ‘wet’ central heating system.
The heat battery boiler is designed for homes using up to 12,000kWh a year for heating, or roughly 1,100 litres of oil. Check your energy bill for an estimate of your usage.
The heat battery boiler needs to sit on a solid, level surface in an accessible space. Ground-floor locations are usually preferred, but tepeo can discuss the options with you.
The heat battery boiler is best suited to homes with a small to medium heat demand, such as flats, terraces, semi-detached and newer homes, typically with 2–4 bedrooms. Every home is different, so the first step is to check whether the heat battery boiler could be a good fit for your property. If it's suitable, you can speak to a tepeo Energy Expert or continue your application with a tepeoPRO installer, who'll carry out a free home survey and provide a full quote.

The carbon intensity of electricity is significantly less than fossil fuels at 125 gCO2e/kWh vs 210gCO2e/kWh for gas. You can check a cost comparison for your home using tepeo's cost & carbon calculator available at tepeo.com/costandcarbon.
The heat battery boiler is relatively simple to install compared to other low carbon options like heat pumps, taking 1-2 days rather than 5 days for a typical heat pump installation (source: British Gas).
