Heat battery manufacturers tepeo and Sunamp have announced a strategic partnership to offer a low-carbon, combi-like heating solution designed to replace the traditional boiler and hot water cylinder setup. It is suited for homes with combi-boilers that don’t have room for a traditional hot water tank.
This partnership means installers and homeowners can benefit from dealing with a single company and having one delivery, reducing the carbon footprint and cost of installation. The company says that homeowners can now remove their combi-boiler knowing their heating and hot water needs are addressed with two systems working as one.
tepeo, innovator of the ZEB, brings to the partnership its new breed of boiler that uses heat battery technology to provide home heating. The ZEB uses electricity to store heat at the cheapest and greenest times, which can then be used throughout the day when the thermostat calls for heat.
Sunamp, a leader in thermal storage, contributes its phase change material technology, used in its Thermino range of latent heat batteries for hot water to replace hot water cylinders.
“This partnership with Sunamp marks a significant step forward in our mission to provide customers a low cost, low carbon, smart and yet simple route off of fossil fuels”, commented Johan Du Plessis, CEO of tepeo. “By combining our technologies, we are making it easier for homeowners, especially those with combi-boilers or limited space to put in a water tank, to transition to sustainable heating without the need for extensive space or structural changes. This package will give millions of homes immediate access to low-carbon electrified heating, helping accelerate the UK’s transition to Net Zero.”
Trevor Cross, UK Sales Director for Sunamp, added: “We are thrilled to partner with tepeo to address a common challenge faced by many households—limited space for traditional low carbon heating equipment. Our combined expertise introduces a truly revolutionary solution that meets the needs of modern homes for space heating and hot water from our rapidly decarbonising grid, thus reducing primary energy consumption and carbon emissions.”
To learn more about the new complete heat battery solution for homes from tepeo and Sunamp, installers can register for the upcoming CIPHE webinar Heat Batteries for Installers on 23 October.
