Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson has launched a new smart heating system callked Cosy Octopus with the vow: “This paves the way to heat pumps for everyone.”

Cosy Octopus will be free for homes that don’t need any work to fit the system after the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). Homes that need adjustments, such as new radiators, piping or a hot water tank, will get the system from around £3,000 after the grant.

The system will enter the market with a 6kW heat pump, aimed at a typical three-bed UK home, with more and larger models following over the next six months.

Cosy 6 is Octopus Energy’s first heat pump built entirely in-house. It was designed by Dr Jason Cassells, CEO of Octopus-acquired Renewable Energy Devices (now known as Octopus Heating), and manufactured in Craigavon, Northern Ireland.
