Ideal Heating joins SFHA as a Sector Associate

Ideal Heating has become a Sector Associate of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA), demonstrating its commitment to Scotland's social housing sector and its vital role in providing sustainable, affordable homes across the nation.

As the UK's market leader in domestic and commercial heating solutions, Ideal Heating brings over 100 years of experience in heating British homes and businesses to the SFHA community. This partnership comes at a crucial time as the sector navigates the transition to low-carbon heating solutions and faces the challenges of delivering warm, energy-efficient homes for tenants.

Tony Rossetti, Country Manager - Scotland and Northern Ireland at Ideal Heating, says: "We're thrilled to establish this partnership with SFHA. As a company that has been heating homes across Scotland for decades, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities in Scotland's social housing sector. Our commitment to supporting housing associations with both traditional heating solutions and our growing heat pump technology makes this partnership particularly timely. We're especially excited to work alongside SFHA members as we all navigate the transition to low-carbon heating solutions, ensuring Scottish homes remain warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient for generations to come."

Ideal Heating's SFHA membership coincides with the company's accelerated diversification into the heat pumps market, where it is setting new industry standards. The company's comprehensive approach combines product warranties with market-leading service support, establishing a new benchmark for heat pump adoption in the UK.

That's why the company has developed its "Setting a new standard for heat pumps" proposition, which includes:

• Transparent, full parts and labour warranty with no hidden surprises
• Free in-person support from expert heat pump teams for installers fitting their first heat pump
• Dedicated heat pump support service and interactive live technical help
• Over 90% first-time fix success rate
• UK-wide team of heat pump engineers, equipped with spare parts
• Heat pumps designed and built specifically for the UK climate

The company's commitment to the future of heating in Scotland is backed by substantial investment. Ideal Heating is establishing large-scale heat pump production in the UK, supported by significant Government funding as part of a £12 million investment. Additionally, the company is investing £19 million in a new UK Technology Centre, opening this year at its headquarters in Hull, which will focus primarily on heat pump research and development.

The company looks forward to actively participating in SFHA events and working closely with members to address the sector's heating challenges and opportunities. Ideal Heating's experience in both traditional heating systems and renewable technologies positions it uniquely to support Scotland's housing associations in delivering comfortable, sustainable homes for their tenants.
