BOXT, a UK-based installer, has teamed up with Passiv UK to exclusively offer the Passiv Smart Thermostat with every purchase of the Worcester Bosch Compress 2000 Air Source Heat Pump.
This strategic collaboration is described by the companies as a “major step forward” in making advanced heat pump control technology widely accessible, providing homeowners across the UK with an intelligent, energy-efficient innovation to optimise their heating systems.
The Passiv Smart Thermostat enhances heat pump performance without complex setup from a homeowner or installer. It cuts heating bills by up to 30% and improves heat pump efficiency by 17%, as verified by the Energy Saving Trust. Its intelligent controls can optimise energy use according to time-of-use tariffs and rooftop solar production, supporting decarbonisation efforts while future-proofing homes against rising energy demands.
Ian Rose, Sales and Strategy Director at Passiv UK, says, “Partnering with BOXT allows us to bring the Passiv Smart Thermostat to homes across the UK, helping more people take control of their energy usage, save on bills, and reduce carbon emissions. This collaboration represents a major step forward in making smart and sustainable heating accessible to everyone.”
Angus Struthers, Managing Director at BOXT, adds, “By including Passiv’s intelligent controls with our Worcester Bosch heat pump offering, we can provide our customers with a complete, high-performance heat pump solution. It’s easy to use and delivers tangible benefits in efficiency and cost savings across a range of property types.”
The Worcester Bosch Compress 2000 Air Source Heat Pump is an all-in-one monobloc heat pump, designed for a straightforward installation experience. It’s suitable for a range of property types, and doesn’t require planning permission in most scenarios. The BOXT heat pump package includes the Passiv Smart Thermostat, and is available from £4,799.
