Intergas launches Funded Hybrid Installation Initiative for housing associations


I


ntergas has unveiled an exciting new initiative aimed at Housing Associations and Social Housing providers: the Intergas


Sustainable Housing Solutions Initiative. T is revolutionary scheme is designed to empower housing providers with cutting-edge sustainable heating solutions, ensuring reduced energy consumption and lower carbon emissions for their customers. Under this scheme, housing associations can


benefi t from the Intergas Xtend Hybrid System, an innovative system capable of reducing gas consumption by up to an impressive 82.5%. T e Xtend Hybrid System has the added capability of retrofi tting to an existing, compliant, ERP boiler.


HOW THE SCHEME WORKS T is initiative aims to support the housing sector’s transition to cleaner, more aff ordable energy by providing housing associations with access to subsidised Intergas Xtend Hybrid Systems and additional support for their customers. Here’s what participants will receive:


• A Cutting-Edge Heating System: T e Xtend Hybrid System delivers unmatched energy effi ciency thanks to the agile system that will alternate between the boiler and the heat pump, ensuring comfort levels are maintained and the most energy-effi cient combination of appliances used.


• Customer Support: A monetary contribution towards the occupier’s energy consumption for a three-month period, helping your customers transition to this new, energy- effi cient system.


•


Expert Support: A skilled Intergas technical engineer will support the contractor during the installation and commissioning process, ensuring a smooth and professional setup operation.


To meet the UK government’s net-zero carbon targets by 2050, landlords and property managers will need to adopt greener heating technologies. Hybrid systems like the Xtend represents a practical and cost-eff ective way to begin this transition. T ey off er a solution that works well for a diverse range of properties while delivering signifi cant savings and maintaining tenant satisfaction. If you’re ready to upgrade your rental property’s


heating system without removing the current ErP boiler, consider a hybrid solution today. It’s an investment that not only future proofs your property but also aligns with the growing demand for sustainable living.


Hybrid systems deliver impressive energy


effi ciencies. By combining an air source heat pump (ASHP) with a boiler, the system ensures gas is only used when needed. For example, with the Xtend, landlords can reduce gas consumption by up to 82.5%, resulting in substantial savings on energy bills for you and your customers. T is can also make the property more appealing to environmentally conscious renters. Heating accounts for 14% of the UK’s carbon


emissions, with 85% of homes still relying on gas boilers. Installing hybrid systems can immediately reduce this impact. T e ASHP component generates energy using the outside air, achieving zero emissions during operation. Over time, as properties are retrofi tted to improve insulation, the reliance on gas can decrease further, with the option to transition to a stand-alone heat pump for 100% sustainable heating. If the property already has a compliant ErP


gas boiler, there’s no need for an expensive boiler replacement when switching to a hybrid system. T e Xtend, for instance, can be retrofi tted to an existing boiler, saving both time and money. Additionally, the installation process is simplifi ed with the Xtend Monobloc as it doesn’t require F-Gas certifi cation, which further reduces overall costs. A common concern with standalone heat pumps


is their limited effi ciency in poorly insulated homes or during colder months. Hybrid systems resolve this by working together with the gas boiler to


maintain consistent comfort levels even in winter, ensuring occupiers always have reliable heating and hot water. T is feature makes hybrid heating suitable for a wide variety of properties, from modern homes to older buildings with less effi cient insulation. Occupiers oſt en worry about the noise associated


with air source heat pumps. Fortunately, the carefully engineered design of the Xtend system ensures quiet operation. With the outdoor unit operating at just 34 dB(A) at fi ve metres (soſt er than a whisper), it delivers the benefi ts of renewable energy without disrupting the tenant’s environment. T e time to act is now. Reduce energy costs,


protect the environment, and ensure tenant comfort with hybrid heating. Step into the future of sustainable housing with


Intergas. Together, we can revolutionise how we heat homes while protecting the planet. Housing Associations looking to improve


their customer satisfaction, reduce carbon emissions, and lower energy costs are encouraged to register for the scheme by 31 October 2025. Don’t miss this opportunity to lead the way toward sustainable housing. For more information and to register your


interest, please contact Intergas or visit the website.
