Heating and Ventilation

House Tag is a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution that enables Housing Associations and Local Authority landlords to centrally store property-related documents and certificates. Through a secure online portal, stakeholders can quickly access documentation associated with a property, with permissions and access levels controlled by the landlord.

Dimplex has reinforced the shift towards proof-based specification with its Edel hot water heat pump now listed on the UK Government-backed Energy Technology List (ETL) - currently the only dedicated hot water heat pump to achieve inclusion.

The listing confirms the Edel range (170, 200 and 270-litre models) meets strict energy performance criteria set out by the scheme, giving specifiers and developers a recognised benchmark at a time when compliance, efficiency and real-world performance are under increasing scrutiny.

Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia is proudly supporting Global Action Plan’s Clean Air Day on Thursday, 18 June 2026. This year, Vent-Axia is marking the day by highlighting the role air filters play in maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ) and reminding homeowners of the importance of regular ventilation maintenance. Filters are a key component of many ventilation systems, such as Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems and Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units, helping remove airborne pollutants and particulate matter from incoming air. With the Future Homes Standard, set to deliver increasingly airtight and energy efficient homes, effective ventilation and filtration will play an ever more important role in maintaining healthy indoor environments.

Walk into the plumbing workshops at South Devon College and you will find something that sets this department apart: students getting hands-on with the same equipment they are likely to see on their very first day in the job.

That has taken another step forward. DAB Pumps UK, a world-leading name in water technology, has donated an ESYBOX and ESYTANK pressurisation system to the college. This is the kind of kit found in homes, businesses, and buildings right across Devon and beyond. For the students training in Paignton, it means learning on up-to-date, industry standard equipment, not something that bears little resemblance to what they will find on site.

In January 2026, Ofgem launched new consumer protection rules to begin regulating the heat networks sector in Great Britain. This was a major milestone that will, over time, change how these services operate, putting consumers at the heart of everything they do. Ofgem have now launched a new digital service, and all heat networks are required to register in this service by 26 January 2027.  and all heat networks are required to register in this service by 27 January 2027. 

Housing associations and local authorities across the UK are tasked with providing safe, sustainable, and affordable homes. Yet, hidden inside thousands of properties is a growing issue: limescale. This “silent saboteur” is quietly reducing the lifespan of appliances, raising energy bills, and driving up maintenance costs—just as budgets are being squeezed tighter than ever.

At Advanced Hydro, we’re committed to making effective “green” technology accessible and cost-effective—not a gamble. Our mission from the outset has been clear: to offer water treatment solutions that are better for the environment, reduce costs, and out-perform traditional salt-based softeners, without the hassle or complexity.

Across the UK, over 5.1 million households* rely on social housing, and for housing providers, ensuring these homes are safe, warm, efficient and compliant has never been more challenging. Rising energy costs, damp and mould concerns, decarbonisation pressures, and tighter regulation all place increasing responsibility on landlords to deliver high performing heating systems that support resident wellbeing.
