YES Energy Solutions: funded home energy improvements

YES Energy Solutions is a Community Interest Company (CIC) based in Halifax (United Kingdom) that works with local authorities, housing providers and private homeowners to reduce carbon emissions and combat fuel poverty. Its activity focuses on managing fully funded energy efficiency improvements for eligible households, handling the entire process from grant application to professional installation.

Energy improvement services

The organisation offers funded households a range of measures aimed at reducing consumption and improving thermal comfort:

• Insulation: internal and external wall insulation, as well as loft and roof insulation, at no cost to the beneficiary.
• Heating: replacement or improvement of heating systems, also funded.
• Solar and renewables: installation of solar panels and other renewable energy solutions covered by the programmes.

These measures aim to help the home retain heat better, lower the monthly bill, improve its energy rating and reduce environmental impact.

Advice and helpline

YES Energy Solutions has a free telephone advice line where a team provides guidance on energy savings, available funding and benefits. The service includes eligibility checks for grants, personalised advice and gas safety advice, with the aim of easing cost-of-living pressures. The organisation also offers the possibility to request a callback.

Grant programmes and coverage

The company participates in various local grant programmes for home energy improvements, including those in Nottingham, Calderdale, Central and Southern Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire, as well as energy advice initiatives with SGN and Wales & West Utilities (WWU). It also collaborates with councils and companies within the framework of these schemes.

Application process

The procedure the organisation follows with interested households consists of three steps: check eligibility using an online tool, provide the necessary documentation to apply for the grant, and let the organisation itself handle the rest, from processing the funding to professional installation. The company presents itself as an option backed by government programmes and with no hidden costs.

Social profile and reported results

As a Community Interest Company, YES Energy Solutions reinvests its resources in community projects instead of distributing profits. According to data published by the organisation itself, last year it served 21,816 households, installed 12,869 energy-saving measures and achieved £9.64 million in savings on energy bills. Each month it receives hundreds of calls from people who need guidance on funding, benefits and energy savings. The company states it has accredited installers, local labour and Gas Safe and CHAS certifications.

Recognition and recent activity

The organisation describes itself as an award-winning CIC with a proven track record in delivering energy efficiency solutions. Its informational content includes articles on how Warmroom helps keep homes warmer and bills lower, on the awards received in July and on the rollout of solar installations under the Warm Homes Plan, as well as the call for Vulnerability Awareness Week.
