(Oilandgaspress) Zero Bills label on Rightmove highlights homes powered by low carbon tech
UK’s largest energy supplier and largest property platform have joined forces to make it easier for millions of home-movers to find greener homes.

Green technology is becoming a bigger selling point in the housing market. Rightmove data shows a 46% increase in mentions of heat pumps and a 37% rise in references to solar panels in property listings year-on-year.

Homeowners are also warming to cleaner tech. Research from Octopus Energy found that nine in ten homeowners with heat pumps are glad they made the switch, with 94% saying their homes are as comfortable – or more so – than with their previous gas boiler.

Together, Octopus and Rightmove will roll out new tools and content showcasing how state-of-the-art low carbon tech can slash bills and boost property value.

As a first step, Rightmove is launching a dedicated Zero Bills label for property listings, allowing developers to highlight those homes powered by Octopus’ pioneering Zero Bills smart tariff.

Zero Bills is a world-first energy tariff that guarantees no home energy bills for 5-10 years in homes equipped with cutting-edge green tech, including a heat pump, a battery and solar panels.*

Home-movers switching from a typical UK home (EPC D rating) to an Octopus Zero Bills property could save over £2,350 a year on their energy bills, according to Rightmove data.**
