Following the government’s recent Autumn Statement, which confirmed VAT relief will continue for heat pumps and biomass boilers but isn’t being extended to other low-carbon alternatives, tepeo is stepping up to highlight a gap in the policy. Despite the crucial role heat batteries like tepeo’s ZEB can play in decarbonising homes, they were left out of the VAT relief scheme. In response, tepeo is offering up to £2,000 cashback on the ZEB and installation by absorbing the VAT cost themselves, demonstrating how this policy change could make a real difference in making low-carbon heating more affordable and accessible for homeowners.
The ZEB offers a straightforward, low-carbon heating solution that directly replaces gas or oil boilers, making it an ideal choice for those who don’t have space or the budget for a heat pump. The ZEB works by charging during off-peak hours, using cheaper and greener electricity to store heat for when it’s needed. By covering the VAT, tepeo is reducing the upfront cost, making it an easier decision for homeowners to go green.
“We’re a young company, and absorbing the VAT cost is a significant challenge for us, but it’s crucial that the government recognises the potential of technologies like heat batteries to help meet Net Zero,” said Johan du Plessis, CEO of tepeo. “If we want to accelerate the transition to low-carbon heating, we need a fair and inclusive VAT policy that supports all effective technologies, not just a select few.”
As the UK moves closer to its Net Zero deadline, this offer will highlight how tepeo’s initiative of VAT removal can make a big difference in accelerating the adoption of green technologies.
