New ‘Cosy’ range does not require new pipes and radiators, company says
Octopus Energy has vowed to end the era of expensive and “ugly” heat pumps with a new “Cosy” range that works as well as a gas boiler.
The gas and electricity supplier has said it will roll out the new devices by December, with claims some households will receive them for free once government grants are taken into account.
Greg Jackson, chief executive of Octopus, said the heat pumps will be able to produce hot water at the same temperature as gas boilers, meaning households would not require new pipes and radiators.
Most devices can currently only achieve water temperatures of around 45C, compared with at least 60C for boilers.
