Awaab’s Law How Prevent Damp & Mould in Homes Solution
How iHelios Infrared Heating Helps Landlords Comply with Awaab’s Law
Awaab’s Law was introduced to improve housing conditions by requiring social landlords to carry out urgent repairs within strict timeframes—particularly for serious health hazards such as damp and mould. It follows the tragic death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak, who passed away after prolonged exposure to black mould in his family’s home. This devastating case revealed critical failings in social housing maintenance and triggered a nationwide call for reform.
While Awaab’s Law focuses on ensuring repairs are completed swiftly, preventing damp and mould before it appears is the most effective long-term solution. That’s where iHelios infrared heating comes in.
✅ Proactively Eliminate Damp and Mould
Unlike traditional heating systems that only warm the air, iHelios infrared heating directly heats walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture. This keeps surfaces warm and dry—preventing condensation, the root cause of mould growth, from forming in the first place.
✅ Improve Indoor Air Quality for Vulnerable Tenants
Because iHelios systems operate silently and don’t rely on air circulation like radiators or fan heaters, they minimise the movement of dust, allergens, and mould spores. This creates a healthier indoor environment, especially important for families with young children or tenants with respiratory issues.
✅ Lower Energy Costs for Tenants and Housing Providers
iHelios infrared heating panels are highly energy-efficient, using significantly less electricity than gas boilers or storage heaters. This helps reduce tenants’ energy bills while also cutting operating and maintenance costs for landlords and housing associations.
✅ Durable, Low-Maintenance Heating That Lasts
With no moving parts or fluids, iHelios heating systems are robust and low-maintenance, offering long-term reliability without the risk of breakdowns. This helps landlords stay ahead of Awaab’s Law response deadlines and avoid costly emergency repairs.
✅ Simple Installation in New or Existing Properties
iHelios panels can be installed in ceilings, walls, or under floors, making them ideal for both retrofit projects and new developments. Installation is fast and minimally disruptive—perfect for occupied homes or tight refurbishment timelines.
