EDF, in partnership with Ideal Heating, has launched a new zero standing charge heat pump tariff that could save customers up to £360 a year, in an effort to help the transition to low-carbon living. 

The one-year tariff is exclusively available to customers that install an Ideal Heating air source heat pump through EDF Heat Pumps and guarantees customers daily savings of up to £360 a year. There are also no standing charges or exit fees to pay. 

It provides six hours of discounted zero carbon electricity every day, with no price hikes or penalties and twice-daily discounts between 4am-7am and 1pm-4pm. Customers can also pocket extra savings by shifting more of their consumption to the off-peak hours. 

Philippe Commaret, managing director of customers, EDF, said that for a limited time, EDF is discounting all air source heat pump installations by £500 for the first 50 customers that sign up. 

With the discount, the heat pump system cost starts from £3,180 when applying the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Finance options are also available to help spread the costs. 

Commaret said that EDF’s goal is to “support as many homeowners as possible with transitioning to low-carbon technologies” and that introducing the new tariff with zero standing charges ensures customers can “take advantage of daily savings from the moment their heat pump is installed”. 

Customers should also consider EDF’s Recommendation Scheme, which allows heat pump customers to earn £250 cashback for themselves and £250 discount for a friend, with every referral. 

As part of its commitment to helping customers transition to low-carbon living, EDF Heat Pumps is promising to only install heat pumps it’s confident will keep your home warm. If it doesn’t, customers will receive their money back. 

Mark Derbyshire, managing director (sales and marketing), Ideal Heating, said the partnership with EDF “combines our industry-leading heat pump technology with a new zero standing charge tariff”. 

“At Ideal Heating, we’ve been heating homes for over a century – and we’re committed to helping make the transition to heat pumps as easy as possible, with appliances that are easy to use, efficient and great for the environment.”
