Heating upgrades and heat pumps in a social home

How do we deliver it?

For heat pumps we insist on a heat loss calculation and emitter sizing. Undersized radiators are the most common reason residents say a heat pump does not work.

Which rules apply in Eastleigh?

Replacement windows, heating systems and some electrical work are controlled under the Building Regulations. In higher-risk buildings (18 metres or 7 storeys and above, with two or more homes), building work needs Building Safety Regulator approval before it starts unless it is exempt.
