IKEA has long been known for transforming how we furnish our homes, now it wants to help power them too.
The retail giant has unveiled a brand-new Home Energy Services range in the UK, featuring solar panels, heat pumps, home batteries and EV chargers designed to make sustainable living simpler and more accessible.
Partnering with renewable energy experts Aira and Soly, IKEA says its latest offering could help households cut both emissions and energy bills while making the switch to greener technology effortless.
Air source heat pumps
The most recent addition to IKEA’s energy offering is its air-to-water heat pump, produced in partnership with Swedish clean energy company Aira.
The unit is designed to provide both heating and hot water by extracting energy from outdoor air and transferring it indoors through a connected system.
IKEA lists both indoor and outdoor units as part of its heat pump range, alongside optional maintenance plans and installation services handled by Aira.
According to the company’s product details, customers can book a consultation and receive a fixed-price quote for installation on the IKEA website.
Solar panels and home batteries
IKEA’s solar energy offering - available through its partnership with Dutch provider Soly - includes rooftop solar panels, battery storage systems, and inverter technology for converting generated power into household electricity.
Customers can choose between standard and premium solar panel types and add home batteries for energy storage, allowing them to use stored electricity during high-demand periods.
The service also covers installation and performance monitoring, managed through Soly’s UK operations.
EV charging
The retailer has also added home electric vehicle chargers to its UK portfolio, again provided through Soly.
The wall-mounted EV units from IKEA are compatible with most major EV brands and can be paired with IKEA’s solar and battery products for integrated home charging.
The chargers are available with optional installation and smart management features, including scheduling and consumption tracking.
Availability in the UK
The full Home Energy Services range is now listed on IKEA’s UK website, with individual products offered through its energy partners.
Each product - heat pumps from Aira and solar, storage and EV systems from Soly - includes installation and maintenance options, available to both new and existing IKEA customers.
The launch expands IKEA’s energy operations into the UK following earlier rollouts in markets including Germany and the Netherlands.
