Be warm again - fast. The tepeo heat battery boiler can be installed quickly with no major disruption to your home. It's everything you expect from a traditional boiler, without the gas.
We know that heat pumps don't work for every home. If you don't have the outdoor space or want to avoid a disruptive retrofit, our heat battery boiler is the simpler choice.
Seamlessly make the transition away from fossil fuels. Our heat battery boiler charges like a battery when grid electricity is at its cheapest and greenest, and integrates with smart tariffs.
A heat battery boiler is an electric boiler that stores heat for later.
It works with radiators or underfloor heating, like a traditional boiler, but it does not burn gas, oil or LPG. Instead, it charges when electricity is cheaper and cleaner, then uses that stored heat when your home needs it.
Unlike a standard electric boiler, it does not rely only on electricity at the exact moment you need heat. And unlike a heat pump, it does not need an outdoor unit.
That makes it a practical option for homes moving away from fossil fuel heating, especially where a heat pump may not be the right fit.
A smarter way to heat your home with lower-carbon electricity.
The ZEB, tepeo’s heat battery boiler, uses off-peak electricity to heat its ceramic core, storing energy when it’s cheaper and more sustainable thanks to smart charging that automatically plans your charging around your tariff and the greenest times of day.
The core holds on to this heat, keeping it stored efficiently until your home needs it, just like a traditional boiler would — but without fossil fuels or major changes to your heating system.
The ZEB delivers heat into your existing radiators or underfloor system when needed. You’re always in control using the tepeo app: set preferences, track usage, boost remotely, and integrate with systems like Home Assistant for smarter, connected comfort.
Yes, if your property is a good fit. The tepeo ZEB is a smart heat battery boiler that can replace gas, oil, LPG or direct electric boilers in suitable UK homes with wet central heating.
For homeowners looking for a replacement for gas boilers, or comparing electric boilers for UK homes, the ZEB offers a practical low-carbon alternative. It connects directly to your existing radiators or underfloor heating, even working effectively with narrower microbore pipework, while storing electricity as heat using smart charging to make better use of cheaper off-peak energy.
Unlike many standard electric heating systems, the ZEB is designed around flexibility. It automatically optimises your energy usage, allowing you to heat your home intelligently and efficiently without burning fossil fuels in the home.
Installation can often take just 1–2 days, making it a lower-disruption option for homeowners exploring electric boiler installation and other low-carbon heating solutions.

The heat battery boiler does not burn fossil fuels in your home.
The ZEB is designed for suitable homes that want familiar central heating without gas, oil or LPG. It can be a great option where a heat pump may not be the right fit – for example, if you do not have suitable outdoor space or want to avoid a larger retrofit.

See what our customers have to say about the ZEB and the installation process.
Really attentive customer service from Tepeo. Nothing is too much trouble. We had some questions before and after installation that were all answered very thoroughly. Now that we’re used to the ZEB, we have got it set up so that it best suits our needs. Oh, and our cat loves sleeping on it!
For us, the ZEB was much cheaper to install than a replacement oil boiler as the regulations have changed and we would have had to have a new flue or put the boiler outside. After a year, we think running costs are similar to oil. We had one breakdown but Tepeo sent a technician to replace a faulty part the next day. Weekday support is excellent. Delighted we went with a green solution. A heat pump was not suitable for our house. The ZEB is an excellent product and deserves to be much better known.
“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.”
“The ZEB is a great product which we are very pleased to have replaced our gas boiler. Our house is as warm as it ever was with the old boiler and we have much more control over its operation. tepeo have been excellent in all aspects during and since our installation.”
Founded in 2018 by engineer Johan du Plessis, tepeo was built on a simple belief: the UK’s transition to clean heat needs more choice.
Heat pumps are a great solution for many homes, but they are not the right fit for every property. Space, cost and installation complexity can all get in the way.
Johan set out to solve that gap with strong engineering and a practical mindset – creating a heat battery boiler that gives suitable homes familiar central heating, powered by smart electricity.
