In the UK, heating buildings accounts for 23% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with home heating alone comparable to the carbon emissions of all petrol and diesel cars on UK roads.
Something needs to change.
Take a big step towards a carbon-neutral home with Econic.
Switching to a hybrid heat pump system reduces your household CO2 emissions by 23 tonnes over 15 years, while saving you £9,500 on your energy bill.​ This heating technology has already been embraced across Europe as the most effective way to decarbonise our homes. Now it's the UK's turn.

How It Works
A heat pump works by taking energy that is in the air outside, and “pumping” that heat into your home. It works in exactly the same way as your fridge, except heat is transferred the other way round. Since we are "moving" energy, not burning fuel, it is far more energy efficient than your boiler.
Hybrid Heat Pump Systems
A hybrid heat pump system is composed of two elements: your existing boiler and a heat pump. It works in the same way as a hybrid car, using electricity most of the year to reduce your consumption of fossil fuels. Just as the gas engine in a hybrid car is used when you are driving at higher speeds, your boiler kicks in only when it is very cold outside, to give you extra power.

Renewable heating
With a hybrid system, the heat pump is used to heat your home approximately 90% of the time, which significantly cuts your reliance on fossil fuels. Only on really cold days, when it is less efficient to run the heat pump, does your gas boiler kick in to ensure your house is nice and warm.
Reliably warm
Having a hybrid heating system is extra reliable since both the gas boiler and heat pump can heat your home, meaning there is always a backup option. This makes the transition to a net-zero home as risk-free and efficient as possible; you never have to worry about having a cold home.
Simple installation
Most of our installations are completed in just 2 days. If you currently use a boiler to heat your home there will be no upgrades necessary to your property when you switch to a hybrid heat pump system. All we do is change the heat source from expensive gas to free energy in the air outside for the majority of the year without any disruption to your home.
Automatically regulated
Smart algorithms determine when it is more efficient to use the boiler rather than the heat pump, ensuring your heating system always runs as efficiently as possible without you having to worry about manually controling it.
