EDF urges customers to come forward for 'free electricity' in December

EDF and Ideal Heating are set to offer free electricity for December 2025 as part of a new heat pump bundle. EDF, which is rivalled by British Gas, OVO, Octopus, EON and more, has partnered with Ideal Heating to launch a heat pump offer.

The scheme is designed to reduce the costs associated with switching from gas heating to low-carbon, electric alternatives. This new package, called the Heat Pump and Power Tracker bundle, is intended to make the transition more affordable for homeowners.

The bundle offers a range of benefits, including ‘free electricity’ throughout December 2025, as well as a seven-year service, maintenance, and warranty package valued at more than £1,500. The bundle is available until 31 December 2024 through EDF heat pumps.

Customers who sign up and opt to fully transition their homes from gas heating to a heat pump will benefit from zero electricity bills for the entire month of December 2025. In addition, the package includes a seven-year warranty and servicing plan, covering both in-person and remote maintenance checks.

Beyond the December 2025 offer, the bundle also includes a three-year heat pump and power tracker tariff. Philippe Commaret, managing director of customers at EDF, explains: “It’s great to see a growing interest among households in switching from inefficient, fossil fuel-based heating to zero-carbon alternatives. However, we recognise that challenges, such as cost, still exist."

Tustomers who opt for this three-year tariff will also benefit from six hours of discounted zero-carbon electricity each day. These off-peak periods, from 4am–7am and 1pm–4pm, allow customers to further reduce their energy bills by shifting their consumption to these windows.

Mark Derbyshire, managing director of sales and marketing at Ideal Heating, said: “By combining our innovative heat pump technology with EDF’s extensive reach and resources, we aim to provide customers with heating solutions that are better for the environment and can also save on energy costs."
