Octopus Energy has launched a nationwide partnership programme with installers to ‘turbocharge’ the rollout of heat pumps, solar and battery systems and EV chargers while supporting local businesses.
Greg Jackson, founder of Octopus Energy, announced the ‘Octopus Trusted Partners’ programme this week at the Installer Show.
According to a company statement, Octopus has rapidly expanded its heat pump activities since entering the market in 2021.
With demand for heat pumps increasing over 20-fold in the last year, it noted, Octopus said its new partnership programme will refer customers to trusted local installers for clean tech installations that Octopus can’t tackle at the moment.
The statement added that this will ensure customers can access cost-saving heating products faster while creating new business opportunities for local installers.
The programme will build a network of trusted and verified installers authorised to install Octopus products, it cited, getting more money-saving tech in people’s homes quicker.
Heat Geek has joined as a trusted partner of Octopus, giving all installers on the Heat Geek network access to the enhanced referral benefit and the ability to receive leads from Octopus.
Greg Jackson said: “As an entrepreneur, I’m in awe of anyone who gets up each day to run their own business. As the largest installer of heat pumps in the UK, we’re committed to bringing clean heating to as many homes as possible – but we can’t do it alone.
“I’m delighted to announce ‘Octopus Trusted Partners’, and Heat Geek as our primary partner – working together to get a heat pump for everyone who wants one, and unlocking cheaper greener power for all.”
Aadil Qureshi, CEO of Heat Geek, added: “Decarbonising home heating is absolutely critical if we are to tackle climate change. Octopus has an incredible job of making homeowners aware of heat pumps and drive up adoption. We share their belief that no customer who wants a heat pump end up with a boiler. That’s why we’re delighted to add Heat Geek to their trusted network of installers.”
