Getting to know how your heating/energy system works best can help save you money on your energy bills. It can also help reduce our impact on the environment. We use six different types of renewable energy systems in our properties. Some of our houses even have more than one type of system.
If you have any issues with your heating systems please contact us.
- Between the months of October and April, we respond to heating breakdowns within 24 hours. If the heating is not working by the end of the day, we will provide you with a temporary heater.
- During the summer months (May to September), your heating repair will be raised as urgent. This means we’ll organise an appointment and fix your heating within 10 calendar days.

Rainwater Harvesting Systems
These systems collect rainfall into a tank located either above or below ground. They are connected to the plumbing system of your home. They can provide you with rainwater or ‘grey’ water to flush toilets.
This equipment could save you money on mains water usage. This is particularly important for those residents who have a water meter fitted to their home. It is important that you allow Hastoe access to service and maintain any equipment at least once a year, even if you choose not to regularly use this system.

How to use an immersion heater
An immersion heater is an electric heater inside your hot water cylinder that is designed to provide temporary or backup hot water if your main heating or hot water system is not working. Not all hot water systems will have one. An immersion heater is not intended to provide continuous hot water and should not normally be left on all the time, as this can significantly increase your electricity bills. In most cases, it only needs to be switched on for a few hours to heat a full tank of water. If you have no hot water, or you are relying on the immersion heater because your main system is not working properly, please contact us.
