One system, one installer
Solar, battery, heat battery and radiators, designed together.
A house that runs on cheap overnight electricity needs the panels, the battery, the ZEB and the pipework sized as one system. We design it, fit it, wire it and come back to service it. MCS certified, so the paperwork for grants and export tariffs is ours to do.

- tepeo ZEB and heat pumps
- Radiators, cylinders and controls
- EV chargers and consumer units
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. We survey, install and commission it with our own engineers.
- No flame, no flue, no outdoor unit

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.
