The Challenge
The Salvation Army Housing Association (Saha) sought to upgrade the heating of homes in Essex to bring affordable warmth to residents whilst also reducing the carbon footprint of its housing stock.
3500 Number of homes Saha owns and manages
35 flats and houses have now had their heating upgraded
7 years of RHI payments they are eligible for
We believe in working together with our residents, so we can help combat high energy costs and alleviate fuel poverty.
The Requirements
Saha is committed to looking to upgrade expensive-to-run heating with ones that are more energy-efficient and therefore comparably cheaper to run.
The Association works in partnership for the benefit of local communities and also realises that the carbon footprint of domestic housing is one of the biggest contributors to global warming in Britain.
The Solution
Market-leading Ecodan air source heat pumps were installed, along with pre-plumbed cylinders.
Ecodan is designed for retro-fitting making it suitable for almost any property. It can even work alongside existing heating systems in a hybrid situation deciding when it is most efficient to use the renewable heating.
