Heating Business Service
Helping you to develop the best approach to heating business models
About the service
The energy system is at an inflection point in what is a once-in-a-generation transition. In the heating market, success is no longer tied to just selling heating systems or kWh of electricity or gas. Success depends on selling services instead of boxes – and selling comfort instead of kWh.
The competitive environment is evolving – new entrants are emerging with innovative, customer-centric approaches, threatening the incumbent players. Energy companies are looking for new value streams in heating services through models like heat as a service. Technology manufacturers are re-positioning themselves as service providers and energy suppliers. The companies who will succeed, are those which can bring customers with them.
Consequently, developing the right customer propositions and business models and targeting them at the right customers, is more critical than ever before.
LCP Delta’s Heating Business Service provides data, insight, analysis and opinion that allow you to develop the best approach to heating business models, identify key success factors, and develop the best propositions for your market.
The transition from ‘old heat’ to ‘new heat’ is disrupting the market.
Low carbon technology ecosystems are needed to meet decarbonisation targets. New competitors are emerging with innovative product and service propositions. Sales channels are being disrupted. And the role of customers in the energy system is fundamentally changing.
Business models must evolve to reflect this. Energy companies and HVAC manufacturers are starting to navigate these challenges in order to capture the opportunities that the transition to ‘new heat’ brings.
