Awaab’s Law & HHSRS Solutions for Landlords | ESR Electrical

Fulfil the Business Needs Created by Awaab’s Law and HHSRS

Turnkey landlord monitoring and maintenance provides early warning, rapid verification and a managed response—reducing legal risk, management time and maintenance uncertainty.

The challenge is not simply detecting a hazard. It is confirming what is happening, managing the response and proving that appropriate action was taken.

The problem for the landlord is not just detecting a hazard. It is managing what happens next.

The landlord needs more than a sensor. They need a reliable process for verifying the problem, managing the response and proving that appropriate action was taken.

Uncertainty

Conflicting accounts, incomplete evidence and uncertainty about what is actually happening.

Delay and Disruption

Delayed inspections, repeated complaints and urgent unplanned contractor visits.

Legal and Reputational Risk

Poor records, increasing regulatory exposure and damaging publicity before the facts are established.



From Alert to Resolution

Your properties monitored.
Problems acted upon.
Your time protected.

Our service can manage the full process:

Monitor → Verify → Contact → Inspect → Repair → Record

Environmental conditions and compatible safety devices can be monitored remotely.

When a problem develops, the landlord can be notified—or the response can be managed on the landlord’s behalf under a maintenance contract.

This means fewer missed problems, faster action and less management involvement.

Simple hardware installation

A discreet wireless sensor and a hidden 4G gateway provide continuous property monitoring with minimal disruption and no reliance on the tenant’s Wi-Fi.

A simple installation with minimal disruption

A discreet environmental sensor is fitted within the property.

It is wireless, unobtrusive and similar in size to a domestic smoke alarm.

A separate gateway is normally hidden within an electrical or service cupboard and connected to a permanent electrical supply.

The gateway uses its own built-in 4G connection, so the system does not depend on the tenant’s broadband or Wi-Fi.

Key features include:

  • discreet wireless environmental sensor;
  • hidden, permanently powered gateway;
  • minimal ongoing 4G service costs;
  • minimal disruption during installation.

One platform. Multiple property risks.

The platform can provide visibility of:

  • temperature;
  • excess heat;
  • excess cold;
  • humidity;
  • condensation risk;
  • developing damp and mould risk;
  • carbon dioxide levels;
  • ventilation conditions;
  • compatible smoke alarms;
  • compatible carbon monoxide alarms;
  • alarm events;
  • equipment condition;
  • interference or removal;
  • radon levels - coming soon

This gives the landlord a much clearer picture of what is happening within the property between inspections.

Legal duties and landlord protection 

Demonstrate that risks were monitored and acted upon

Awaab’s Law, the HHSRS and wider landlord duties require housing hazards to be identified, investigated and managed. Connected monitoring helps create a clear record of what happened, what action was taken and whether the problem improved.

Monitor the conditions

Record when adverse conditions developed, how serious they became and how long they persisted.

This provides better evidence than relying only on complaints, photographs or a single inspection.

Property manager recording tenant contact, inspection notes, maintenance tasks and service actions for a rented property.

Record the response

Keep a clear record of tenant advice, contractor contact, inspections, maintenance visits and remedial action.

This helps show that the landlord did not ignore the problem.

Verify the outcome

Use continuing environmental data to check whether repairs, ventilation improvements or heating advice actually worked.

If the problem returns, it can be identified and addressed sooner.

Landlord protected by a documented compliance record showing monitoring, response, follow-up and completed action.

Protect the landlord

Where the evidence shows that vents were kept closed, ventilation systems were not operated, heating advice was not followed or safety equipment was interfered with, the landlord has a clearer factual record.

The key protection is proving that the risk was monitored, investigated and managed reasonably.

Do not just report the problem. Offer your client the solution.

FOR EPC ASSESSORS & HHSRS PROFESSIONALS

An HHSRS Inspection and Assessment Report identifies hazards and recommends action. 

What do we do about it?

We work alongside EPC & HHSRS assessors, and provide monitoring, maintenance and remedial solutions - solving the landlord's problems.

This allows you to present your client with:

  • the report and recommended actions;
  • remote environmental monitoring;
  • automatic reactive maintenance.

Instead of simply reporting a problem, you can help the client resolve and manage it with minimal involvement from the landlord.  This makes your own service more useful, strengthens your client relationship and creates an opportunity to offer a wider landlord safety and compliance service.
