EDF, in partnership with Ideal Heating, is aiming to help customers save cash and carbon with a new zero standing charge heat pump tariff.

Available to customers that install an Ideal Heating air source heat pump through EDF Heat Pumps, the new ‘Heat Pump and Save Tracker’ one year tariff aims to offer savings amounting to at least £360 a year, with no standing charge or exit fees to pay. 

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

And for a limited time, EDF is discounting all air source heat pump installations by £500 for the first 50 customers that sign up. The tariff is available for customers who pay a deposit before 30 September 2025 and complete their installation before 31 December 2025.

The discount will mean a heat pump system starts from £3,180 when applying the Boiler Upgrade Scheme Grant. Finance options are also available to help customers spread the cost. With EDF’s Recommendation Scheme, heat pump customers can also earn £250 cashback for themselves, and £250 discount for a friend, with every referral. 

EDF also said that if the heat pumps don’t perform as promised, customers will receive their money back. 

Philippe Commaret, Managing Director of Customers at EDF, said:

“Our goal is to support as many homeowners as possible with transitioning to low carbon technologies. Introducing our new tariff with zero standing charges ensures customers can take advantage of daily savings from the moment their heat pump is installed. We’re so confident in our service and product that we’re even offering a Heat Pump Promise, which guarantees customers a warm home or their money back.” 

Mark Derbyshire, Managing Director (Sales and Marketing) at Ideal Heating said:

“We’re delighted to partner with EDF Heat Pumps for a second time, launching a brand-new offer for our customers that 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.  

EDF Heat Pumps customer Stephanie, from Bury St Edmonds, said:

“I wanted a self-sufficient house; a house that could just run itself and I didn’t have to do anything – no maintenances. Having a heat pump is effortless to me; I don’t touch it, I don’t hear it, I don’t go anywhere near it, because I don’t have to. It’s really, really easy.”
