Established tepeo ZEB installer

Off gas without a heat pump.

The ZEB stores cheap overnight electricity as heat and runs your existing radiators and hot water like a boiler. No flame, no flue, no outdoor unit, so it fits terraces, flats and listed houses where a heat pump will not.

  • No flame, no flue, no outdoor unit
  • Runs your existing radiators
  • Charges on cheap overnight electricity
  • Surveyed, fitted and commissioned by us

Thirty-five years, one family, over 50,000 customers.

Paynes started in 1990 and is still family-run from Oak Tree Barn at Blackboys. The fleet has grown to around 50 vehicles, the first of them now electric, and the work has grown from boilers and plumbing into solar, batteries and heat batteries. You get a Paynes engineer, employed by Paynes, who can be back next year for the service.
