Hometree is the UK heating industry's first digitally-led boiler installation company - leveraging technology to deliver a boiler installation service unlike anything seen in the industry before - at prices typically 35%-50% cheaper than British Gas. It does so by selling online, cutting out unnecessary costs like home surveys and boiler sales people through the use of video consultations with Hometree Gas Safe experts, and through a simple online platform where homeowners can book appointments and installation dates, receive quotes, pay online, arrange finance and receive reminders about servicing.
The vision for Hometree is to build a next-generation energy company that provides the services every connected home needs. As consumers increasingly buy into smart home security, solar PV, energy storage and other connected devices that will need professional installation, Hometree's proven ability to link skilled tradespeople with best in class technology and customer service, twinned with its competitive and transparent pricing, will make it a natural choice for homeowners looking for one company to take care of everything. Starting in boilers, a large established market compared to some of the more nascent smart home ones, gives us the opportunity to show how Hometree can offer all these services with the level of transparency and immediacy that those who use online services have come to expect.
Hometree is based in North London and has been backed by some of Europe's best VC's and angel investors who believe that there is a dire need for innovation in energy.
