E.ON pilots Next Gen Home heat pumps and solar package

Energy supplier E.ON has introduced Next Gen Home, a pilot comprising a package of energy upgrades, which it says is designed to ‘reimagine how energy works in the home’.

The firm said that at its heart, it gives customers an all-in-one energy package that makes low-carbon technologies easier and more affordable to use.

For a fixed monthly fee, Next Gen Home offers solar panels, battery storage, heat pumps, EV chargers and a smart home energy management system.

E.ON said:

By bundling these technologies and services together, Next Gen Home makes low-carbon living more accessible, predictable, and affordable—helping households adopt to cleaner, more affordable energy, without the upfront financial burden…We thought ‘What if warmth, comfort and clean power weren’t things you had to actively manage, research or finance, like a second job – but a service that simply worked?’ Next Gen Home is our attempt to answer that question in the real world.”

The company added:

The biggest barrier to sustainable homes has never been the technology, it’s been access, affordability. The upfront costs alone have locked millions of households out of the transition, turning climate action into something only the wealthy could contemplate.

Next Gen Home removes that barrier entirely, and that matters – not just environmentally, but socially. By spreading the cost into a single, fixed monthly fee – covering installation, maintenance, optimisation and green energy – we’re making clean upgrades achievable for far more homes across the UK. Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) means customers pay for results — like a warm home — rather than having to buy and manage energy equipment themselves.”

The company added that the pilot will be monitored to see how integrated systems perform when they’re treated as one organism, not five separate upgrades. It concluded:

For decades, energy has been something done to households, Next Gen Home is about doing it for them.”

And once you see what’s possible when energy finally works around the home – not the other way around – it will be very hard to imagine why we would ever go back.
