Warmworks has received funding from Affordable Warmth Solutions’ Warm Homes Fund to install energy-saving improvements in just under 150 homes in the Scottish Borders, in partnership with three local housing associations: Waverley, Eildon and Berwickshire. The project will install air source heat pumps, which are a renewable form of domestic heating technology, alongside robotically applied underfloor insulation, using Q-Bot technology.
The project aims to make homes warmer and more energy efficient over the longer term, as well as reducing householders’ reliance on fossil fuels and traditional sources of heat. The project will also provide valuable insights into how this technology can be used effectively as we move towards lower carbon technologies for heating homes.
Warmworks is working alongside three housing associations to deliver the project, each of whom will identify properties within their housing stock to be upgraded. An overview of each housing association has been provided below.
Waverley Housing is a Registered Social Landlord operating throughout the central Scottish Borders.
Berwickshire Housing Association builds and manages homes to rent to suit a range of lifestyles, personal needs and family sizes that people can afford.
The Eildon Group is based in the Scottish Borders and made up of parent company Eildon Housing Association Ltd, and Eildon Enterprise Ltd. Eildon Group provides housing, care and support services to people right across the Scottish Borders region.
Warmworks will oversee the delivery of the end-to-end process, ensuring that customers experience a first-class, streamlined service. Every member of Warmworks’ supply chain for this project will be held to our extremely high standards in terms of the quality of work they deliver. This is consistently monitored by a dedicated performance management system and our in-house team provides daily support to all sub-contractors in order to ensure customers receive a first-class service.
The project will not be led by applications and householders will not be expected to apply. The project will target properties owned by each housing association and that have been specifically identified as potentially suitable for this project. The project is expected to last about a year.
If you live in the Scottish Borders, in a home managed by one of the housing associations involved in this project, you can contact us on whp_enquiries@warmworks.co.uk for more information.
