Meet the ZEB! Are you looking to upgrade your boiler? The ZEB, works with a wide range of hot water solutions, from cylinders to PCM heat batteries.
The ZEB is half the running cost on a smart tariff, saving you up to £1.5k a year.
Kinder to our planet by cutting 100% of direct home heating carbon emissions.
Installed in 1-2 days with the same experience as your current boiler.
As the ZEB is a heat-only boiler, you will need to install a separate solution to provide hot water to your house. All of the solutions below are examples of what our current customers use and can help you to decide what would work best for your home.
A hot water cylinder is a traditional cylinder that stores and heats water for use on demand. As the water is heated on a schedule, some planning is required to ensure you aren’t without hot water, but newer models come with smart features and better insulation, so offer better control. Depending on the property, hot water cylinders can either be connected to the mains water supply (unvented) or require an additional cold water tank in the loft (vented) – your installer should be able to recommend the best solution for your home and hot water habits. Both unvented and vented hot water cylinders can be heated indirectly by a ZEB (indirect hot water cylinder) or directly using an electric immersion (indirect hot water cylinder).

A smart cylinder is a hot water cylinder that heats from the top down, so you only heat the water that is needed. The heated water then stays hot as it’s used from the cylinder. Smart features give better control of charging times, hot water volume as well as visibility, though they also mean upfront costs are more expensive than a traditional hot water cylinder. As with traditional hot water cylinders, smart cylinders are available as direct or indirect types.

A PCM store is a type of heat battery, ideal as a hot water solution. Internal materials (phase change material or PCM) store energy, which is then used to heat water on demand, rather than storing water like a cylinder would do. Although this is a newer technology, upfront costs don’t differ significantly from traditional solutions. You can also use both cheap night electricity rates and energy generated from solar PV to keep running costs lower. In terms of size, they are significantly smaller than traditional solutions and don’t require legionella cycles, so it saves energy compared to cylinders. There are a few different options of PCM similar to direct or indirect hot water cylinders, which mean they can be plumbed either separately or together with a ZEB.

A ZEB costs £6,000 to purchase and because we don’t think you should pay VAT on heat batteries, we’re offering to cover your VAT on the ZEB and installation until the government does by giving you up to £2,000 cashback.*
Homeowners can take advantage of this cashback offer by contacting sales@tepeo.com or by completing our ZEB Home Check. The offer is also available through our tepeoPRO installer network, find your nearest installer here.
To make this a permanent change, write to your MP using the instructions here, requesting that the ZEB benefits from VAT relief and subsidies.
You can also check how much you could save in running costs by making the switch to a ZEB with our cost & carbon calculator.
