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 Lichfield?

Gas work done for payment must be carried out by a member of the Gas Safe Register (Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998). Landlords must have each gas appliance and flue checked at least every 12 months and give the record to the tenant within 28 days.
