What is a Zero Emissions Boiler?
The Zero Emissions Boiler (ZEB) is an innovative heat battery that replaces traditional boilers for heating. It connects to your existing radiators and uses off-peak electricity to store heat, which is released when needed. With advanced AI technology, the ZEB learns your home’s heating patterns, uses local weather data, and calculates the most efficient way to charge and heat your home.
Unlike standard electric boilers, which heat water on demand using peak-rate electricity, the ZEB charges during off-peak times, keeping costs low and emissions down.
How the ZEB Works
The Zero Emissions Boiler (ZEB) uses cutting-edge technology to deliver efficient, reliable heating. Here’s how it works:
Thermal Storage
The ZEB charges its thermal core using off-peak electricity, storing up to 40 kWh of heat. This stored energy is ready to be released on demand, keeping your home warm without relying on expensive peak-time electricity.
Smart Charging
Unlike traditional systems, the ZEB uses artificial intelligence to adapt to your home. It learns your heating habits, checks weather forecasts, and analyses electricity tariffs to determine the most efficient times to charge.
On-Demand Heat
When your heating system needs energy, the ZEB releases heat into your wet system, maintaining consistent and even warmth throughout your home. Whether you use radiators or underfloor heating, the ZEB integrates seamlessly.
User Control
With the tepeo app, you stay in control. Adjust settings, schedule heating, or boost warmth whenever you need it – all from your smartphone or tablet.
