Octopus Energy has introduced a heat pump and solar referral program to promote the adoption of clean heating technologies and contribute to achieving net-zero emissions.
Anyone who gets a heat pump or solar system installation from Octopus can refer friends and family for their own heat pump or solar power installation. Those referring will pocket £100, while those having the tech installed will get a £100 discount on the fitting.
Those who are Octopus Energy retail customers can get a £100 credit on their account while others will receive a widely-accepted e-voucher of the same value.
It comes as the government announces a significant surge in demand for heat pumps, with applications for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant increasing by 75% in February compared to the same period last year.
Octopus Energy says its heat pump prices start at £500, including the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
By switching to a specialist heat pump tariff like ‘Cosy Octopus’, households can potentially save £222 a year compared to running a boiler, Octopus data shows.
Rebecca Dibb-Simkin, chief product officer at Octopus Energy, says: “Nothing makes us happier than satisfied customers, and we’re incredibly proud that so many have referred us to their friends and family over the years.
“Our approach has always been to put money back into people’s pockets, and we’ll happily give away another £100 million in referrals as savvy customers take advantage of our heat pump offer – and help speed up the clean heating revolution along the way.”
