Best tariff for heat-pump and battery homes
Find the best tariff for homes that combine a heat pump with battery storage. Reserve protection, winter demand, and charging strategy all matter together here.

Use this page to frame the decision, then check the live tariff terms.
Should the battery mainly protect the home from peak import, or should it actively participate in export and price-led cycling?

Best fit
Best for all-electric homes using a heat pump plus battery storage, especially where winter demand reshapes the economics.
Decision signals
- Choose Tracker when winter comfort and straightforward daily costs matter most.
- Choose Flux when the household wants structured export logic without giving up deliberate battery planning.
- Choose Agile only when the property has genuine flexibility and automation support.
Recommended tariff playbooks
These are the tariff pages most relevant to this home profile based on the operating pattern described above.
Octopus Tracker
Strong when the household wants to keep heating economics legible and use the battery to smooth daily price exposure.
Octopus Flux
Strong when the home has enough confidence in reserve and refill behaviour to balance heating resilience with export opportunities.
Octopus Agile
Strong only when the property is flexible enough to move heating support and battery charging across variable half-hourly slots.
What to watch for
Related use cases
These pages explain the operational conflicts that usually sit underneath the tariff choice.
Heat pump and solar coordination
Heat-pump homes need to know how solar generation offsets heating demand and when battery storage should protect the property from non-solar hours.
Using battery storage to buffer heat-pump demand
For all-electric homes, battery storage can protect comfort and cost, but only if the reserve strategy is tuned to real heating behaviour and tariff opportunity.
Whole-home conflict detection for modern energy homes
The more flexible devices a home has, the more valuable it becomes to detect conflicts between them before they show up as cost, lost solar or poor comfort.
Smart controls that usually suit this home type
These mode pages explain how the battery strategy often changes once this home profile is clear.
Home First
A simpler home-first mode. It prioritises running the home from your own solar and battery first, minimises grid dependence, and avoids optimiser-led battery export.
Autopilot
The best starting mode for most homes. Autopilot decides when to charge, hold, or export by balancing tariff value, home coverage, refill confidence, and your protected minimum battery SoC. Choose Balanced for a calmer default or Aggressive for stronger value seeking.
