Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB®)

Meet the Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB®) 

Boilers play a big part in the climate crisis. Switch to one powered by a cleaner alternative – electricity.

An introduction to tepeo

tepeo was founded in 2018 to give customers a cleaner, smarter, and more cost-effective heating solution that would help them transition away from their existing boiler. Since then we’ve designed, built, tested, and tried many ways to create an efficient heat battery solution that uses electricity to supply heating - all culminating in the Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB®).


The ZEB was launched in 2021 and, by growing our network of tepeoPRO installers, we’re hoping to bring this British made product to more environmentally-focused customers across the UK, increasing the options available for low-carbon heating solutions. 


tepeo is here to help millions of homeowners transition away from their existing boilers towards a cleaner alternative so they can heat their home, not the planet.


Meet the ZEB

Looking to reduce your environmental impact? The ZEB uses electricity to supply your heating, charging up and storing most of the heat your home requires at off-peak times. This can make it a more cost-effective and cleaner option compared to existing boilers. Check how much you could save by making the switch with with the tepeo cost & carbon calculator.

What is a low carbon heating solution?


The energy we use to heat our homes comes from two sources: fossil fuels or electricity. 


Traditionally, boilers are powered by fossil fuels such as gas, LPG or oil. The emissions, or pollution, from these types of boilers are a massive contributor to the climate crisis, with heating on average accounting for 31% of carbon emissions per household.


In contrast, a low carbon heating solution uses energy from renewable and sustainable sources i.e. sun, wind to produce electricity. As such, these types of heating solutions produce little or no emissions, making them a much cleaner alternative to a traditional fossil fuel boiler.


What to expect from your ZEB?


The ZEB harnesses electricity to heat your home efficiently. It charges up during off-peak hours, storing heat for later use. When needed, it intelligently releases the stored heat to keep you warm. The amount of heat provided per charge depends on factors like property size, usage and weather.


How much heat one full charge gives you varies by property size, heating usage and the weather. Follow the tips in this guide for the best experience with your ZEB. Powered by electricity, the ZEB is an innovative heat battery that cuts emissions, is easy to install, and is cost-efficient, storing most of the heat a home requires at off-peak times.

How do I get a ZEB?


  • First, we'll need to check if the ZEB is right for your home: give us a call to discuss home setup and requirements.


  • If your home sounds suitable, we'll complete a home survey: during the home survey, we'll work out the details of your installation and answer any questions you might have.


  • Getting the ZEB to you: tepeo will then arrange delivery of your ZEB and we'll install it.
