Our Story
Our Journey So Far
Hometree was founded by Simon Phelan in 2015. We started our journey in the home cover market, and today – we’re helping over one hundred thousand UK homeowners keep their homes warm and working by protecting some of their most essential home infrastructure from breaking down.
The Challenge for UK Homeowners
The UK’s home energy industry is stuck. Energy-inefficient gas boilers continue to pump tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere each year, yet government policies, cost-prohibitive products and holdouts for a green hydrogen breakthrough keep today’s industry running in place.
Hometree’s Solution
We know transitioning to net zero will be difficult and it won’t happen overnight – but with better financing solutions to help customers afford more energy efficient hardware, and by expanding our network of engineers trained in installing renewables, it’ll be easier for homeowners to make the switch when the time is right for them. All the while – we’ll continue to offer home cover to maintain and protect that all-important hardware and keep it running efficiently.
We believe how we heat and run our homes should be greener and more sustainable, and that the home services industry has a unique role to play in helping homeowners overcome this challenge. Whether it’s installing new low-carbon heating devices, or making existing devices more efficient, we believe we can be a driving force in making homes across the UK better for the environment.
