The government’s recent £1.8 billion Warm Homes Plan announcement marks a watershed moment for social housing in England. With 170,000 homes set to benefit from energy efficiency upgrades, housing providers face a critical question: how can they ensure these improvements deliver lasting impact?
At Vericon Systems, we’re already working with successful Wave 3 bid recipients to enhance their retrofit programmes through smart technology integration. Our approach doesn’t just meet Wave 3 objectives—it exceeds them, creating homes that are warmer, healthier, and genuinely future-proof.
While traditional retrofits provide the foundation for energy efficiency, smart monitoring transforms how we identify and support vulnerable residents. Our Connect platform tracks energy usage in real-time, allowing housing providers to:
The path to Net Zero 2050 requires more than just better insulation. Our integrated approach combines multiple technologies to deliver measurable results:
With Awaab’s Law coming into force in October 2025, housing providers face new responsibilities around damp and mould. Our environmental monitoring systems offer a proactive solution, while HomeHub keeps residents engaged and informed about their newly upgraded homes.
The £1.29 billion allocated through the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity. But success requires more than just installing new equipment—it demands a strategic approach to monitoring, maintenance, and resident engagement.
Our integrated solution helps housing providers:
As the sector moves toward EPC C targets by 2030, today’s retrofit decisions will have long-lasting implications. Smart technology isn’t just an add-on—it’s essential infrastructure that ensures your Wave 3 investment delivers sustained benefits for years to come.
The government’s commitment to warmer, more efficient homes is clear. Now it’s time for housing providers to match this ambition with smart, future-proof implementation strategies.
Let’s discuss how Vericon Systems can help you deliver a retrofit programme that doesn’t just meet current requirements but sets new standards for social housing. With the right technology partner, your Wave 3 funding can do more than just warm homes—it can transform them.

At Vericon Systems, we are proud to introduce HomeHub, our most advanced property monitoring solution to date. We have specifically developed this sophisticated system to transform how Housing Associations and property managers oversee their residential properties, offering unprecedented insight into residents’ living environments.
Our new HomeHub system provides comprehensive environmental monitoring, assessing conditions within each property every five minutes. We recognise that daily monitoring isn’t sufficient for modern property management, which is why we’ve engineered this solution to deliver more frequent and accurate assessments, enabling early detection of issues such as damp and mould.
We’ve incorporated intelligent machine learning capabilities that we believe set new standards in property management technology. Our system learns each property’s unique heating characteristics, allowing it to accurately determine optimal heating times and efficiency. This analytical approach enables our clients to identify inefficient heating systems and inadequate insulation, facilitating data-driven decisions about property improvements and maintenance schedules.
Communication sits at the heart of our design philosophy. We’ve ensured HomeHub enables direct, efficient communication between property managers and residents, with our multi-language support ensuring clear understanding across diverse communities. Our innovative Track My Repair feature provides transparent maintenance tracking, complete with milestone updates and comprehensive audit logs accessible to both residents and property managers.
As our Managing Director Bernard Cook explains, “We’ve specifically designed HomeHub to promote resident engagement and provide housing providers with a deeper understanding of their tenant’s environment. Our system’s intelligent analytics and AI learning capabilities automatically alert both landlords and residents to potential issues, providing recommended actions and enabling proactive property management.”
We’ve included practical applications that address the core needs of property management:
We’re particularly proud of HomeHub’s remote update capability, which ensures our system remains current with evolving property management requirements. We’ve designed this feature to make HomeHub a sustainable long-term investment for our clients seeking to modernise their operations.
Our team has developed HomeHub to represent a significant advancement in residential property management technology. By combining environmental monitoring, communication tools, and maintenance tracking in one integrated system, we provide the comprehensive oversight necessary for effective modern property management.
We understand the challenges facing Housing Associations and property managers today. That’s why we’ve created HomeHub as a professional, reliable solution that meets the complex demands of contemporary property management. We’re confident that our system will help our clients enhance their operational efficiency whilst improving resident satisfaction.
