Vaboo and Propflo partner to engage 250,000 tenants in energy efficiency
London, 23rd January, 2025. Vaboo – a customer rewards platform – will now feature Propflo’s GreenVal energy efficiency report for free to over 250,000 tenants to help them save money on their energy bills. Propflo will also offer Vaboo on its platform as a way of engaging and incentivising tenants to make upgrades.
With the government pressing ahead with new minimum energy efficiency standards for the private and social rented sectors, and energy bills rising again by 1.2% in January after a 10% rise in October, it is a key priority for the country. However, £250bn investment is required to bring UK properties up to standard and 80,000 homes need to be retrofitted per month, so greater awareness and access to information is needed for tenants who have rights to request upgrades from their landlord if funding is in place and if there isn’t a reasonable exemption.
Many tenants are also unaware that they may be eligible for significant grant funding to pay for the upgrades. Propflo identifies grant criteria and improvement partners are then able to apply for funding on behalf of the tenant and landlord
The GreenVal retrofit tool
Tenants using the Vaboo platform can:
- View how much energy they can save and check if they are eligible for grant funding.
- Send the report to their landlord to get quotes for a wide range of home improvements, from accredited local and national suppliers.
- Gain insight into the impact a property can have on personal wellbeing, by rating contributing factors such as thermal comfort, air quality, and financial health.
