— Robert Stirling, Sureserve Managing Director

Everwarm, part of Sureserve, established a strategic partnership with the West Midlands Combined Authority. The recently awarded contract will see up to 400 properties in Rugby and Dudley retro-fitted with the latest renewable heating technologies, a total HUG 2 award of £13 million. As the principal contractor, Sureserve will work closely with local authorities to ensure seamless implementation in adherence to industry standards.

The Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) 2 scheme enables eligible homeowners to receive full funding for a variety of tailored energy-saving measures, addressing their individual needs. As part of DESNZ’s Sustainable Warmth policy agenda, the HUG 2 scheme plays a crucial role in supporting fuel-poor and low-income households, empowering them to reduce energy costs, decrease consumption, and transition to environmentally sustainable living spaces. The scope of measures covered includes insulation for walls, lofts, and floors, low carbon heating solutions, solar panels, and battery storage systems. This not only supports the residents and their families, it also has a positive impact on the environment and wider community.

This partnership continues to showcase Sureserve's commitment to leading grant-funded energy efficiency schemes, particularly those aimed at uplifting low-income communities. Leveraging its expertise, Sureserve remains steadfast in its vision of playing a vital role in the decarbonisation of the social housing and related public sector and to contribute in a significant way in alleviating fuel poverty.

Sureserve's mission is to be the trusted partner of choice to the social housing and related public sector in delivering essential and affordable heating, energy savings, and compliance solutions, playing a key and progressive role in decarbonisation, always delivering for customers, employees, residents and the environment with safety, integrity and respect at the forefront of everything we do.
