Proactively combating mould and disrepair

Fairhive Homes partner with Switchee to tackle damp and mould head on.

The challenge
Housing is seeing a rise in the number of residents and homes in need of support. Furthermore, the recruitment and retention of surveyors into the industry has never been more challenging resulting in an overworked workforce and poor resident experience.

Fairhive Homes identified the need to be more proactive in their approach. They needed a solution that would help them better manage their resources, saving them time and money.
The ability to diagnose issues occurring in residents homes, remotely, and assess if solutions put in place had worked, could transform how they work.

The solution
As thought leaders within social housing, Fairhive Homes chose to install Switchee smart thermostats into their residents homes, utilising data to gain valuable insights on the performance of their housing stock.

The results
- Using Switchee data to proactively identify and resolve issues at the earliest opportunity saving thousands in remedial works.
- Increased resident engagement by 74% with a 94% response rate and 100% access rate.
- Saved £12,000 communicating with residents via the Switchee devices compared to letters and text messages, an estimated saving of £270,000 across the portfolio.
