Bromford is a social enterprise dedicated to providing housing and housing support services, whilst inspiring customers to be the very best they can be. In 2017, Bromford refurbished a number of properties across two sites in Shropshire, as part of a trial scheme to tackle fuel poverty for residents.

Working closely with long-standing partner J Tomlinson, a comprehensive assessment and viability works were carried out on several heating products to source the best solution for the project. The Vaillant geoTHERM mini ground source heat pumps were deemed the most sustainable and cost-efficient option for these properties.

Each property was fitted with an individual heat pump and a new, wet central heating system. To minimise the carbon impact on the site, three properties feed from one shared collector. The new, highly efficient system will help the residents at the Cleobury Mortimer and Hodnet sites significantly reduce their heating bills. Feedback from Bromford and the end users has been very positive, with one customer already reporting savings of 42% in comparison to last year’s electricity bill.
