Heat Geek is renewing the heating industry. Home heating accounts for 17% of the UK's carbon emissions and to tackle this, we've developed a digital-first experience that enables people to upgrade the homes with carbon-free heating. For installers, we've long been the go-to source of expert advice on all aspects of the heating industry for both end users and industry professionals who value the facts above all else. Heat Geeks are part of one of the largest independent renewables installer communities in the country, with access to incredible training and community support to deliver customer energy upgrades, and grow your business at the same time.

A belated share, but if you're looking for a low-down on Heat Pumps, their potential to revolutionise home energy and what we're doing at Heat Geek to make it a reality, check out this amazing video from Ryan Inis Hughes at Ziroth. Fantastic to work with a true engineering thinker/communicator to bring the science to life! https://lnkd.in/eHAxdfs9

❓Shouldn’t we focus on the actual problem? 💷Great to hear UK government briefing in a potential new grant scheme (for fuel poor), and perhaps more excitingly a government backed finance initiative for loans (richer households). We’ve long argued that a long term loan that kills up front cost, enables a installation of a super efficient heat pump system will net save homeowners (lots of) money and catalyse the transition to clean energy at home. Big banks are poised to deploy, and a government guarantee will move the market into action. ☀️But the briefing appears to be linked exclusively/heavily to solar and battery systems. OLIVER Wright’s article in the Times even links the idea of a subsidised solar system leading to cheaper running costs of a heat pump. ⚖️We’re huge fans of solar/battery, and for homes that can afford it; it’s a great way to lock in even greater savings when combined with a high efficiency heat pump. 🛢️But without transitioning from the gas supply in the home, 75% of the energy used will STILL be reliant on a foreign, expensive, carbon producing energy source. No amount of solar will change that. The household will have slightly/greatly cheaper base load electricity, next to a big fat gas bill (and standing charge) that remains unchanged. ✂️ Rather than loaning money to households to install solar and battery, then having the same problem of upfront costs blocking installation of the heat pump (even with reduced savings), why don’t we apply “Occam’s razor” and just give a loan for a heat pump? Heat Geek (and others; Aira / Octopus Energy / …) have shown time and again that homeowners can save money when installing a heat pump alone. Savings that will increase over coming years as spark spread reduces and electricity costs move absolutely lower in line with Labour’s clean power mission. Linking the finance options to solar seems like inserting complexity unnecessarily into the process and adding further confusion for homeowners. 🧪As always, there’s #nopanacea and each home’s maths might be slightly different. But it feels this (pre) announcement is a good idea wrapped in a bit of confusion. 📣What about “Goverment backed 0% loans for clean energy”. *Applies to Solar, Battery and Heat Pumps. Let the market prove the relative benefits and design ever better products to cater for needs of consumers. Retail lenders (that will administer the loans), regulators and others can be a further assurance that homeowners get the right tech for their priorities. Keen for your thoughts!

That's us finished for another successful year 🎅 Wishing all our customers a very merry christmas and looking forward to what 2025 will bring. Great night last night celebrating with the team who make it possible. This year we've seen a big turn in our workload with gas boiler numbers down and heat pump numbers rising. Exciting and rewarding times as we continue to push into the renewables section. MASSIVE thanks to Heat Geek whos training and support have been second to none in making this happen for us. We have loved being part of the Installer Platform this year.🧡🧡 Morfield Heating & Gas Services Ltd

👎🏽 "Boilers no longer the most cost effective option." Great to see our work at Heat Geek featured alongside some great innovators like HavenWise in The Telegraph. To see this kind of article in such a diligently sceptical publication is indicative that we really are seeing the maths and science cut through. By focusing on physics and delivering highly efficient installs, we can help every homeowner to upgrade their home and save money every month. https://lnkd.in/e6zJ_cMy

✋🏻 "Don't bother with a Heat Pump"... ...Was what I was told by numerous installers visiting my property mid and post-renovation. As those who have been following know, I took this as a symbol that the "system" was wrong and started my journey into home energy and building the next phase of Heat Geek with the incredible Adam Chapman and Matt Gunn. So excited to be documenting the journey of where it all started, with the release of the first video documenting how my experience can now be turned on it's head with the work we're doing to empower incredible engineers to help homeowners across the country.

💷 Heat Pumps that pay for themselves? Supporting homeowners to decarbonise has always been our mission. Our incredible network of highly trained engineers help homeowners to do that by delivering industry leading efficiencies, which drive the biggest bill savings. Unfortunately, this can sometimes come at a prohibitive cost up front. Today, we’ve launched our first foray into Finance. Working with the awesome Tandem Bank, we’re offering eligible homeowners the ability to spread the cost of their install over 15 years. Some homeowners will save more on their energy bill than the costs of the finance, all for the price of a boiler swap up front. Still lots of work to do, but this step shows how physics can work with finance to make the energy transition affordable for many more homeowners.
