Home Team

What Home Team does

Home Team is a privately held renewable technology installer and heating/HVAC contractor operating as a trading name of Property Partners, headquartered in Sheffield, UK. Founded in 2005 as a Gas Safe registered boiler installation, repair and servicing business, the company has expanded into a turn-key residential energy platform covering solar PV (Trina Vertex S monocrystalline panels from 410W to 505W), lithium-ion battery storage (SolaX hybrid inverters and AlphaESS modular SMILE platforms scaling from 3kWh to 60+ kWh), air source heat pumps (Mitsubishi Ecodan and Daikin systems rated to operate at -25°C with ~300% efficiency), EV chargers (Ohme, EO), and smart home controls (Nest, Tado, Worcester Bosch Wave/EasyControl ecosystems with Alexa/Google/HomeKit integration). The legacy gas boiler business remains under the Eco 4 sub-brand alongside landlord gas safety certificates and plumbing services.

The company's revenue model is primarily transactional and project-based, combining one-time hardware-and-installation fees for renewable systems (with deposit structures of 25–50%), pay-as-you-go boiler repairs and plumbing callouts (from £70/£75+VAT), boiler installations (from £1,950), boiler servicing contracts (recurring annual maintenance), commercial SME HVAC project work, and a referral/affiliate fee stream from the TradeHelp consumer finance partnership. Air source heat pump installs (priced £2,400–£14,050) are partially offset for eligible customers by the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which Home Team processes end-to-end via its MCS accreditation.

Go-to-market is sales-led and locally concentrated, with Local Area Representatives and Gas Safe engineers running free on-site surveys and quotes across Sheffield and surrounding South Yorkshire towns (Barnsley, Chesterfield, Doncaster, Rotherham, Worksop, Dronfield). Demand is captured through a content-rich website with SEO and Google Reviews (4.9 rating) at the top of funnel, a 24/7 in-house call centre handling inbound enquiries, and field sales closing larger renewable-system deals. Customer segmentation splits primary residential homeowners against secondary landlords/property agents and SMEs, with no disclosed revenue figures and an indicative headcount band of 11–50 employees.
