A Smarter Approach to Home Heating Decarbonisation.
Millions of UK households can now switch to clean, electric heating without increasing strain on the national grid. Modern storage battery and renewable systems allow homes to store energy when it’s cheapest and cleanest, then release heat on demand, cutting carbon emissions and reducing reliance on old fossil‑fuel boilers.
The All‑Electric Home: Efficient, Affordable, Future‑Ready
To achieve Net Zero heating, we must address the challenge of decarbonisation of domestic and commercial heating. The rise of the all‑electric home is reshaping how UK homeowners manage energy. By combining solar panels, home battery storage, smart electric heating and intelligent hot water systems, households gain a sustainable, low‑cost alternative to traditional heating.
Home Battery Storage: Power When You Need It
Typical UK home storage battery systems cost £2,500–£6,000, with most 2–3 bedroom homes falling between £5,000–£6,000. With 0% VAT on batteries installed alongside solar (since Feb 2024), homeowners save up to 20% instantly. Government-backed loans of up to £5,000 further reduce upfront costs. Pairing battery storage with smart electric heating enables households to store solar energy or off‑peak electricity and use it during peak‑price periods.
The result is:
– Lower heating bills
– Reduced grid dependence
– Zero‑emission, consistent comfort
– Reduce reliance on the grid and volatile energy prices
– Cut carbon emissions by using clean, renewable power
– A future‑proofed home energy system
What Is a Storage Battery for Smart Electric Heating?
A Storage Battery for Electric Heating is a standalone energy system designed to store electricity and power your heating when you need it most. When paired with a solar PV system, it becomes a powerful tool for cutting energy costs, improving efficiency, and increasing your home’s energy independence. By storing surplus solar energy during the day and using it later to run your electric heating, a dedicated backup battery system helps you Lower electricity and heating bills, Maximise self‑consumption of free solar energy.
Shifting Heating Demand Off‑Peak by Up to 60%
Independent trials show that storage batteries can shift up to 60% of heating demand away from peak hours. Homes remained warm even in winter while achieving 15,600 kg CO₂ and bills savings compared to gas boilers. By “charging” the smart connected electric heating systems during low‑cost hours, stored heat is released only when needed, maximising efficiency and minimising running costs.
Ideal for Homes Unsuitable for Heat Pumps
Around 33% of UK homes lack the space or layout for heat pumps, storage batteries with smart electric heating offer a practical, low‑carbon alternative with:
– Fast installation (1–2 days)
– Greater Efficiency in Cold Weather
– Minimal disruption
– No external units
– High compatibility with existing electrical systems
– Low Upfront Installation Costs
Strengthening the Grid While Cutting Costs
Decoupling electricity consumption from heating is a crucial step toward the UK’s goal of a fully decarbonised energy system by 2030. Shifting heating demand away from peak times reduces pressure on the electricity network. As more households adopt electric heating on renewable, this flexibility helps avoid costly grid upgrades, ultimately saving money for all consumers.
