We’ve helped thousands of households reduce their energy bills through free, government-backed upgrades like heating, insulation and solar panels. Last year, we supported 21,816 homeowners, installed 12,869 energy-saving measures and saved £9.64 million on bills.
Our work ensures warmer homes, lower costs and improved comfort for those who need it most, with a simple process we manage from start to finish.
We’re proud to make a difference across the UK, helping people live comfortably while saving money. From fully funded installations to our free advice line, we’ve empowered over 1,000 people monthly with tailored guidance on energy savings, benefits, and funding.
Our commitment as a community interest company drives us to reach more households, ensuring no one struggles with high energy costs.
Free heating, insulation, and solar for eligible households.
Expert guidance to lower bills and improve comfort.
Connecting you to support for financial and safety needs.
Our goals focus on making energy efficiency a reality for every household, helping you lower bills and live comfortably. For homeowners, this means warmer homes with reduced costs through upgrades like insulation and heating.
It also benefits the climate by cutting energy waste and emissions. At YES Energy Solutions, we provide these fully funded improvements to support low-income households, ensuring affordable heating while contributing to a greener future.
Over 2.28 million UK households struggle to pay energy bills, often choosing between heating and essentials like food. Cold homes can make people unwell, increasing health risks and hospital visits, while families face daily stress that affects their quality of life.
YES Energy Solutions is committed to easing these burdens by providing fully funded solutions like boilers, insulation, and solar panels at no cost to eligible households. Our work focuses on those most in need, delivering warmth and financial relief through government-backed schemes.
By partnering with local organisations, we identify and support vulnerable communities, ensuring access to our services. Last year, we helped 21,816 households save £9.64 million on bills, transforming lives with warmer, more comfortable homes.
Our mission is to ensure no one has to sacrifice basic needs for warmth, creating stronger, healthier communities across the UK.
Reducing CO2 emissions is crucial to combat climate change and protect our planet.
Homes contribute around 20% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from heating, according to WWF UK. This drives global warming, extreme weather, and air quality issues. YES Energy Solutions tackles this by installing fully funded energy-efficient upgrades, such as insulation and heating, which cuts emissions while keeping homes warm.
These solutions help customers save money and contribute to the UK’s net-zero target by 2050, as supported by the Climate Change Committee. By making eco-friendly improvements accessible at no cost, we enable everyone to play a part in sustainability.
Our professional installations reduce energy waste, ensuring long-term environmental benefits. YES Energy Solutions is dedicated to creating a greener future, helping customers live comfortably while protecting the environment for generations to come.
Energy efficiency is key to affordable living and a sustainable future. The Energy Saving Trust estimates it can save households up to £450 annually on bills. Efficient homes also increase property values, with poorly rated homes selling for less, per Oxford Economics.
YES Energy Solutions leads this effort by delivering fully funded upgrades nationwide, including insulation, heating, and solar. We educate homeowners through practical resources, helping them understand how to save energy. Our work aligns with the UK’s Future Homes Standard, pushing for low-carbon homes.
By simplifying access to government schemes and providing expert installations, we ensure vulnerable households benefit from lower costs and better comfort. Last year, we installed 12,869 energy-saving measures, making a real difference.
YES Energy Solutions is committed to expanding this impact, advocating for efficiency and helping more people enjoy warmer, cheaper-to-run homes.
YES Energy Solutions began as a local energy service, helping communities save money. Now a national community interest company, we support homeowners across the UK with fully funded upgrades and expert guidance.
