How 170,000 English Homes Are Getting Smarter
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.
Tackling Fuel Poverty Head-On
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:
- Spot struggling households before crisis points
- Verify that retrofit works actually reduce energy bills
- Target support where it’s needed most
- Provide evidence-based intervention strategies
The Carbon Challenge
The path to Net Zero 2050 requires more than just better insulation. Our integrated approach combines multiple technologies to deliver measurable results:
- Smart thermostats and our innovative Boiler Control Module achieve up to 22% energy savings
- AutoFill technology reduces engineer callouts by 60%, cutting both costs and carbon emissions
- Real-time performance monitoring ensures retrofit measures maintain peak efficiency
Protecting Resident Welfare
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.
Making Wave 3 Funding Work Harder
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:
- Monitor retrofit performance in real-time
- Identify additional energy-saving opportunities
- Maintain healthy living environments
- Keep residents informed and engaged
- Demonstrate tangible outcomes to stakeholders
Looking Beyond 2025
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.

The HomeHub includes resources to educate and support residents in improving their home environment. By empowering residents with information about their energy usage, temperature & humidity data and boiler activity, they can enjoy things like more disposable income, increased social value, and enhanced mental wellbeing.
