Energy efficiency enhancements to favor Alliance Homes' clients
**Alliance Homes Aims to Upgrade 1,000 Homes to Energy Efficient Standards by 2030**
Alliance Homes, a housing association managing over 7,000 homes in the South West of England, is moving closer to achieving its ambitious goal of having all its properties reach an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C or above by 2030.
The energy efficiency upgrades are the result of a successful bid by Alliance Homes for government funding. The organisation has secured a provisional allocation of £2.9 million from the government's Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund. To further boost the initiative, Alliance Homes will be investing an additional £4.4 million through its Warmer Greener Living programme.
These energy efficiency improvements are part of Alliance Homes' drive to provide warm, sustainable, and efficient homes. Upgrades typically involve improving insulation, installing energy-efficient heating systems, adding double or triple glazing windows, incorporating renewable energy sources, improving ventilation systems, and fitting energy-efficient lighting and appliances.
The funding will be used for energy efficiency upgrades in 335 homes across North Somerset. Planned improvements include the installation of solar panels and various insulation measures. Aisha Stewart, Sustainability Manager at Alliance Homes, is proud of the success of the Warmer, Greener Living scheme, which has already improved more than 160 homes.
Aisha Stewart has announced that the first group of customers will be contacted soon. The homes identified for upgrades in the next phase will receive energy efficiency improvements. The new investment commitment from Alliance Homes, combined with government funding, will benefit hundreds more customers.
The upgrades aim to help customers reduce their energy use and lower their carbon footprint and bills. This large-scale energy efficiency project is just one example of how housing associations are working towards creating more sustainable living spaces and contributing to the government's target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
If you require more specific details on Alliance Homes’ £7.3m energy efficiency project, such as the timeline or impact on carbon footprint and bills, we recommend consulting official Alliance Homes publications, press releases, or contacting their communications directly.
