Heating for Social Housing FAQs
- Which heating solutions are best for social housing?
Heating for social housing should be energy-efficient and cost-effective. Heat pumps, which offer energy efficiency of around 400%, are an excellent option for this.
If opting for a boiler, consider the size of the property and the number of intended occupants. A combi boiler is excellent for small properties as it’s compact in a single unit to save space. However, for larger properties with a high number of occupants, a system boiler is a strong choice as it can store large amounts of hot water in a separate cylinder.
If you are using an older property that was built with a heat-only boiler in mind, a new heat-only boiler installation may be the most cost-effective choice.
To help you make your decision, see our guide comparing heat pumps and gas boilers and our guide to different boiler types.
- Is social housing eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
While social housing isn’t eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, those on housing benefits are eligible for the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund for energy-efficient heating. Social housing properties with low energy rating (D-G) can also be fitted with heat pumps via the Energy Company Obligation.
- Can you install a heat pump in a flat?
Air source heat pumps can absolutely be installed in a flat, provided there is at least one square metre of outdoor space for the pump's outside component.
Heat pumps can also emit some noise, which can be a concern for flat block dwelling. However, Quiet Mark Approved heat pumps are available, such as our Logic Air.
