The tepeo ZEB heat battery is a heat-only boiler, so you’ll need a separate solution for your home’s hot water.
While we do not manufacture hot water systems, the ZEB is compatible with a variety of solutions that can be paired to suit your home.
Below, we’ve outlined some solutions to help you understand what might be suitable for your home. If you’re unsure, our team can also help you explore the options as part of your ZEB journey.
Upgrading to a ZEB is a seamless way to electrify your heating, as it connects directly to your existing wet central heating system. Our tepeoPRO installers and in-house experts will help assess your system to also ensure your hot water strategy integrates perfectly.
What the switch means for your hot water depends on how your home currently heats its water:
The ZEB can usually connect straight to your existing cylinder. However, it’s also a great time to explore whether upgrading to a smarter, more efficient electric setup could work well for your home.
Because the ZEB is a heat-only boiler, you’ll need to add a dedicated hot water solution. Explore the options below to see what our current customers use and what fits your home.
A PCM store is a compact heat battery that stores energy rather than hot water, then uses it to heat water on demand. It can charge using off-peak electricity or excess solar energy and typically takes up less space than a traditional cylinder. Different models can be installed either separately or alongside a ZEB.

A hot water cylinder stores heated water ready for use. Modern models offer improved insulation and smart controls, making it easier to manage when and how your water is heated.
Depending on your home, you may need a vented or unvented cylinder. Your installer can recommend the best option based on your property and hot water needs. Cylinders can be heated indirectly by the ZEB or directly using an electric immersion heater.
Choose this option if you’d like:
A smart cylinder heats water from the top down, so you only heat what you need. Smart controls can help you manage charging times, hot water volume and energy use, although they typically cost more upfront than a traditional cylinder. Like standard cylinders, they’re available in direct or indirect versions.
