The tepeo ZEB: a boiler replacement with no flame and no outdoor unit

The tepeo ZEB stores electricity as heat and releases it to your radiators and hot water when the house asks for it, exactly as a boiler would. There is no combustion, so nothing is burnt in the house, and no outdoor unit, so it fits where a heat pump cannot. It charges when electricity is cheapest.

What the job includes

Paynes is an established tepeo installer. We survey the property, confirm the ZEB suits the heat demand and the electrical supply, install it in place of the old boiler, and commission it on your tariff. If you want off gas or oil without changing the radiators, this is the conversation to have.

Zero emissions at the point of use
Electric heat storage, no flue, no combustion, no carbon monoxide.
Works with existing radiators
A direct replacement for a gas, oil or LPG boiler on a wet system; no radiator upsizing programme.
No outdoor unit
Sits where the boiler was, or in a utility room or garage, so it suits terraces, flats and listed buildings.
Smart charging
Charges on the cheapest part of a time-of-use tariff and releases heat on demand.
Survey and suitability
Heat demand, electrical supply and space checked before anything is ordered.
Installation and commissioning
Old boiler removed, ZEB installed, controls and tariff set up.

Common questions

What is a tepeo ZEB?

A Zero Emission Boiler: a thermal battery that stores electricity as heat and delivers it to radiators and hot water like a conventional boiler, with no flame and no flue.

Is it a heat pump?

No. A heat pump moves heat from outside; the ZEB stores heat inside. The ZEB needs no outdoor unit and no radiator changes, and suits homes where a heat pump is impractical.

Will it work with my radiators?

Yes. It replaces the boiler on the existing wet system.

What does it cost to run?

It depends on your tariff. The ZEB is designed to charge on cheap off-peak electricity, which is what makes the running costs work; we set it up on your tariff at commissioning.

Why choose Paynes for a ZEB?

We are an established tepeo installer with the survey, electrical and heating work all done in-house by our own engineers, under our NICEIC and Gas Safe registrations for the removal of the old boiler.
