tepeo secures £1 million funding to optimise its award-winning technology for mass manufacture
Wokingham-based tepeo, inventor of the award-winning Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB®), has secured funding for a £1 million project with grant funding from Innovate UK. The project will enable it to conduct deep research into the ZEB’s core technology, with a focus on optimising it for high volume manufacture.
Ways to ask your ZEB for heat
We often get asked which thermostats or third party room controls the ZEB prefers, and how they should be configured; the truth is that the ZEB only needs a simple on/off call for heat - when heating is needed. You can simply retain your existing thermostat and timer. There’s no need to adjust any settings, just use the ZEB as if you were using your fossil fuel boiler.

Theresa May visits to learn about how ZEB technology is decarbonising UK homes
Theresa May today paid a visit to tepeo, a Maidenhead-based start-up that has developed a low-cost, low-carbon electric alternative to gas or oil boilers for domestic heating, called a Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB).
What happens inside a ZEB’s brain?
Not all electricity is created equal… some electricity is cheaper than the rest and some electricity is cleaner. The price is a function of various things including how many electricity-consuming things across the network want that bit of electricity at that time - it’s basic demand and supply economics.
