Salary benchmarks
Our take
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. Off the back of further debt funding, Hometree's plan now is to expand across Europe.
