Hot water is the fuel poverty lever. Find us at ASCP26 to learn more.
We’re exhibiting at the ASCP Safety & Compliance Conference and Exhibition at ICC Wales in Newport on 8 and 9 September, and we’ll be on stand A5 for both days.
The event brings together the people who keep social housing safe, from compliance managers to the specifiers who decide what to procure as part of their retrofit programme. We’ll be there talking to them a bout how a smart cylinder is the ideal to cut resident bills.
The cylinder that passes compliance can still fail the resident
Somewhere in almost every compliance programme is an airing cupboard with a cylinder in it, but we don’t ask what it costs the household living alongside it.
In direct electric homes that cost is where fuel poverty concentrates, and it’s where the requirement for social rented homes to reach EPC C or equivalent by 2030 will be hardest to meet.
A cylinder built to heat what you need behaves differently. A heated portion is usable straight away, heating runs in the cheapest tariff windows, and consumption reports back per dwelling, so you can see the saving instead of taking it on trust.
How smarter hot water specification can help tackle fuel poverty
Birmingham City Council measured what that’s worth: around £150 a year per household on hot water, across nearly 1,000 Mixergy X cylinders.
iHP X brings the heat pump inside the cylinder
We’ll have Mixergy iHP X on the stand. It’s designed for all-electric homes, with an integrated heat pump running up to 3x more efficient than a conventional direct electric cylinder, and usable hot water in under 30 minutes on boost.
Our pilot with St Basils is shortlisted for the Net Zero Awards
Away from the stand, we’ve been shortlisted for the Net Zero Awards for our pilot with St Basils, the West Midlands charity supporting young people facing homelessness.
Running since February 2025, the pilot is saving residents an average of £200 a year on energy, showing what we can do beyond the cylinder.

If hot water sits anywhere in your compliance, retrofit, or asset management plans, come and see us on 8 and 9 September. Bring a scheme and we’ll show what the numbers look like for that stock. Discover how much your residents can save.
