5 ways to reduce costs in Social Housing

Social Housing

23 January 2025

With rising maintenance costs and growing compliance demands, housing associations face constant financial pressure.

For instance, a 2023 report by the National Housing Federation found that UK housing associations need to invest an additional £20 billion by 2030 to meet evolving safety and sustainability standards. Here are five practical strategies to reduce costs while improving tenant safety and satisfaction. 

Cost-saving strategies 

  • Invest in IoT technology: Use sensors to monitor environmental conditions and predict maintenance needs. 
  • Switch to long-life alarms: Reduce replacement cycles with tamper-proof, 10-year sealed battery alarms. 
  • Adopt proactive maintenance: Prevent issues like damp and mould with early interventions. 
  • Streamline compliance: Use cloud-based dashboards for efficient record-keeping. 
  • Choose multi-sensor alarms: Reduce false alarms and installation costs with dual-purpose devices. 

 

FireAngel’s cost-effective solutions 

  • Multi-sensor alarms: Combines smoke and heat detection in one device. 
  • Connected fire safety: Real-time data reduces unnecessary callouts.
