Social Housing

Renewable Energy for Social Housing

At Ecoliving, our work on a wide range of development and heating upgrade projects with Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) has meant that we are familiar with the current priorities within the affordable housing sector and understand the environment.

"With escalating fuel prices, our targets for reducing fuel poverty look increasingly challenging"

"We understand and support the drive for energy efficient heating systems that minimise the carbon footprint of new dwellings but we are being expected to finance this from existing budgets."

"With airtight, well insulated dwelling, there is a greater need for active ventilation"

These are just some of the issues that we have been able to address for our RSL clients. Ecoliving is a specialist distributor of renewable energy systems with an emphasis on quality products and in-depth technical support. Working with a portfolio of renewable solutions including one of the most comprehensive range of heat pumps in the UK, we deliver a complete service to RSL clients and their contractors.
