Hometree started off in the business of boiler installations, a huge market in need of a major overhaul. Boilers were typically installed by prominent brands at premium prices or by independent tradesmen who the customer might not trust. Hometree provides a more transparent, convenient and trustworthy service of boiler installation and maintenance.
Having established its presence in the boiler sector, Hometree has expanded into a full range of home services including green energy installations and financing. The company offers a variety of affordable home care plans covering not only boilers, but general heating and home care to help consumers lead a more sustainable life.
Hometree is taking a fresh approach to home cover, avoiding the traditional problems of poor service, complicated pricing, and confusing products. Its approach has won significant funding in an oversubscribed Series B round, coinciding with the acquisition of financing platform BeWarm, solar energy supplier the Little Green Energy Company and renewable energy installers Geowarmth. Hometree's plan now is to expand across Europe.

When I joined Hometree, it was bang in the middle of winter period. Even though it was all hands on deck, I got given opportunities to learn from the get go. Over the summer periods, you get the opportunity to learn a new department and also take time to do adhoc courses (i.e Looker Dashboards). Can't wait to keep learning as we scale and develop to bigger things!

Every 2 weeks all employees are sent out a 30 minute calendar invite to join the business updates. Even if you can't make it these are recorded and then sent over to us in the internal messenger so we don't miss any update. Team meetings every morning consist of any update, no matter how large or small they maybe!

They do not micro-manage, but empower their teams to make decisions and have ownership. This creates an environment of trust, flexibility and ultimately contributes to a better work/life balance.

Teams have great flexibility over how they work. We have access to a great London office that's really social, but hybrid working is the norm and we use technology to ensure we remain connected to our colleagues where ever they might be.
