As a social housing provider, you’ve got a lot on your plate. Managing hundreds—or even thousands—of homes is never simple, but the winter months bring a special kind of headache: boiler breakdowns. When the temperature drops, calls start pouring in from residents left without heat or hot water, and suddenly you’re scrambling to keep everyone safe and warm.
It’s a familiar story. Boilers that worked just fine all summer decide to quit the moment you need them most. But why? It comes down to demand and stress. All season long, boilers work overtime to keep homes warm. Components wear out faster. Cold temperatures make metal parts expand and contract, leading to leaks or ignition issues. And, let’s be honest, maintenance sometimes slips to the bottom of the to-do list when things seem to be running smoothly.
As repairs pile up, maintenance teams get stretched thin and residents get frustrated. The costs—both financial and reputational—add up fast. You may end up relying on subcontractors at premium rates just to keep up. No one wins.

Instead of waiting for a frantic phone call, you’ll know what’s happening inside each boiler—often before your residents do.
