A typical household using oil heating is estimated to generate the equivalent of 10,000 miles(1) of carbon every year – that’s equivalent to a road trip from the UK and India and back again.

If you currently have oil or LPG heating, you could reduce your dependency on it by up to 80%(3), reduce your carbon emissions and reduce your heating bills by upgrading to an environmentally-friendly hybrid heating system with EDF – all without the hassle of having to overhaul your existing heating system.

As part of its commitment to helping Britain achieve Net Zero, EDF has partnered with Samsung and PassivSystems to offer a state-of–the-art hybrid heating system which is affordable and sustainable. The air-source heat pump, which is up to four times(2) more efficient than an A-rated boiler, is installed by approved installers and backed by a system warranty of seven years.

For an initial upfront cost of just £399(4) and a monthly fee of £14.99, users get a fully installed heat pump with smart controls system and you may even be able to claim additional government subsidies that help offset the cost of your system. This offer is open to all, not just current EDF customers.

“The Future Heat application process is pretty easy and the survey quick and hassle free. Today we received confirmation of our acceptance to the Government's Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive and we will be getting a regular payment from the government for switching in part to a greener fuel option. It’s great to know that the monitoring and service plans are relatively inexpensive too over the period of the scheme - in fact the extra government grant practically covers these costs. You'd be crazy not to apply for the scheme if you rely too much on heating oil to warm your home and it's great to know you're switching to a greener energy option with the backing of EDF.”

Understanding the numbers:

A household consuming 1000 litre of oil every year. Carbon calculated from http://www.carbon-calculator.org.uk/

For every unit of electricity they use, they can generate up to four times in heat. Actual figures can be influenced by weather, your heat demand and the model of your system

This is based on the UK government report. Our Microgeneration Certification Scheme-approved installer will provide you with a more accurate eligibility and savings assessment after carrying out the no obligation survey.

The cost is dependent on EDF getting a Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) subsidy under the Assignment of Rights scheme over 7 years to pay for the equipment and installation. Early termination fees will apply. Install price excludes the costs of any changes to your existing heating system, electric wiring, and maintenance of your existing heating system. We can provide you with a quote for any additional work identified during site visits. Price true as of 01.10.20 EDF reserves the right to change the price without notice.
