What We Do

At Heat Geek, we are tackling the UK’s biggest carbon contributor: home heating. Nearly 20% of all UK carbon emissions stems from residential temperature regulation – and that contribution percentage is even bigger on a global scale. By revolutionising the installation process using technology, we are getting more heat pumps into homes and slashing carbon emissions in the process – we are on track to prevent 1,000,000 kg of carbon from entering our atmosphere by February, and we won’t stop there!

Join Us!

People are at the core of who we are and what we do. From decreasing homeowners’ energy bills to help with the cost of living, to empowering talented heating engineers to perform outstanding installations, to ensuring a greener world for all of us, we believe in the power of what we can all do together. And we need passionate, talented, hard‑working people to be a part of this journey.
