Affordable Warmth Feature


Heating systems that fall short of this standard can lead to constant recalls to properties, complaints or tenants choosing to leave, resulting in empty properties


EPC COMPLIANCE Energy performance is a growing priority, especially with the UK Government tightening regulations around Minimum Energy Effi ciency Standards (MEES). Properties that fail to meet the EPC ratings risk being unrentable. HHR storage heaters can contribute positively to EPC assessments by


improving the heating system’s overall effi ciency, reducing energy wastage and lowering running costs. When used alongside proper insulation and economy tariff s such as E7 they can help raise SAP ratings and ensure you remain compliant with current and future legislation.


UPGRADE Compared to gas systems, HHR electric heaters are simple to install and require minimal maintenance. T ere’s no need for annual servicing, and the risk of breakdowns is low. For property managers and landlords overseeing multiple units, this off ers a hassle-free, long-term solution. Combined with other aff ordable measures like draught-proofi ng, thermal


curtains and loſt insulation, HHR systems deliver even greater cost effi ciency and comfort without large capital outlay and installation mess. Investing in high heat retention storage heaters is a strategic move that


delivers value across the board. From reduced energy bills and improved tenant retention to higher EPC scores and lower maintenance costs, the benefi ts are clear both in the short term and long term!
