Looking for a boiler that helps save the planet whilst keeping you warm? Meet the ZEB. It works just like your existing boiler but without the emissions and pollution.
Did you know that 31% of carbon emissions come from home heating? These ‘direct’ emissions are released from your flue whenever you use your boiler. You can remove your flue by switching to a ZEB, which immediately improves local air quality helping you to breath fresher, cleaner air.
It will also save you 2.2 tonnes of CO2 vs. your gas boiler – the equivalent of 7 flights from London to NY. And, you can avoid the polluting spills and leaks that happen with oil boilers.
The ZEB is unique – unlike electric boilers, it can store heat for when you need it (usually at the cheapest and greenest times, such as night). It’s also smarter than other boilers, knowing just the right amount of heat to store, meaning you won’t be paying for more than you need.
What does this mean in terms of running costs for the ZEB? It’s half the cost of an electric boiler to run using a smart tariff because you won’t be paying for the electricity when you use it (usually when the cost is at its highest), saving you over £1.5k a year!
The ZEB is ideal for small to medium sized homes and works with your existing pipework, radiators and heating system, making it an easy switch from any boiler, with installation typically taking less than 2 days.
Can’t have a heat pump? The ZEB is the perfect alternative, as you don’t need outside space, planning permission or extensive changes to your home.
It’s easy to use – once installed, it automatically learns how much heat you need and when you might need it without you having to do anything. Plus, it can be controlled from anywhere with an App, so your home is warm when you need it.
The ZEB is powered by electricity and works like a battery to store energy as heat until it is needed. Electric heating elements charge up a “core” inside the ZEB – storing a lot of energy in a small footprint.

See what our customers have to say about the ZEB and the installation process.
“The ZEB is easily controlled by an app from your mobile phone, it includes lots of functions so you can program it to suit your needs and take advantage of any smart electricity tariffs you might have (…). The ZEB is a great alternative to a heat pump if like me it isn’t suited to your home.”
“The ZEB was installed neatly and easily in our cupboard under the stairs. Through last winter we stayed warm and let the ZEB do its thing with choosing the cheapest and greenest times to charge overnight. Customer support from tepeo has been great and the app is very user friendly”
“The ZEB works in our house, pretty much the same as our gas boiler. There’s not been any practical differences. And it’s all on our existing controls – we didn’t even have to change the settings! We didn’t have to change any of the radiators and it only took a day in the end to install.”
