PHR supports housing associations, local authorities, and social housing providers with structured energy-efficiency and low-carbon retrofit programmes designed to improve the performance of the housing stock and support decarbonisation objectives.
Across the UK housing sector, increasing regulatory expectations and rising energy costs are prompting organisations to improve the energy performance of residential properties. Solar PV installations, heat pump upgrades, and broader retrofit measures can play an important role in reducing tenants’ energy costs while supporting long-term carbon-reduction targets.
Whether supporting improvements across individual homes or delivering wider retrofit programmes across housing portfolios, our approach is structured, compliance-led and focused on long-term performance.
Energy improvements across social housing require careful planning and coordination. Property age, construction type, tenant occupancy, and program funding requirements all affect how projects are assessed and delivered.
HR works alongside housing associations, local authorities, and delivery partners to assess property suitability, ensure compliance with relevant standards, and support the delivery of energy-efficient upgrades to occupied homes.
Our approach focuses on practical implementation, tenant considerations, and long-term performance of the housing stock. Projects are carefully assessed to ensure that installation is technically appropriate and aligned with programme objectives.
Depending on eligibility and project scope, a range of government or regional funding programmes may support social housing retrofit projects.
Potential support routes may include:
Funding availability depends on programme eligibility, housing stock type and location. PHR supports housing providers by offering practical guidance at the early stages of project assessment.
Solar panel systems can help reduce electricity costs for tenants while improving the energy performance of housing stock.
PHR supports housing providers with solar panel installations across social housing properties, helping organisations integrate renewable energy systems into wider retrofit or decarbonisation programmes.
Solar panel installations are assessed based on the roof structure, property orientation, and electrical infrastructure to ensure systems are suitable for each property type. Installations can be delivered across individual homes or as part of wider housing improvement programmes.
Heating systems account for a significant share of energy consumption across many housing portfolios. Air source heat pumps provide an efficient alternative to traditional gas or oil heating systems and can help housing providers achieve long-term decarbonisation targets.
PHR provides heat pump installation services for social housing across North Wales and the North West, helping organisations transition toward low-carbon heating systems in residential properties.
Each installation is assessed to ensure suitability for the property type, heating demand and insulation levels, supporting reliable long-term system performance.
PHR delivers coordinated services to support housing retrofit and energy-efficiency programmes, including:
These services may be delivered individually or as part of wider social housing retrofit programmes.
Social housing retrofit projects require structured planning, programme management and clear compliance oversight. PHR supports housing providers with feasibility assessments, technical designs, and coordinated installation deliveries.
We carefully plan installations to minimise disruption for tenants when delivering projects within occupied homes. Compliance documentation and programme reporting can be provided where necessary to support regulatory and funding frameworks.
This structured approach helps ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with programme requirements.
