Home Upgrade Grant - phase 2

Geoffrey Evans recently had solar panels and loft insulation installed on his property in Northallerton. He received the home upgrades through the North Yorkshire Home Upgrade Grant - phase 2 scheme.

Geoffrey is 90 years old, lives alone and is receiving treatment with cancer. During our visit, he told us all about how much it meant to him to receive fully funded home upgrades:

“As you get older you really start to feel the cold, so when I first read about your scheme in the local newspaper, I really jumped at the opportunity to keep my home warm.

“I was thrilled to hear my application was successful and I qualified.

“The loft insulation really appealed to me - since installation I have noticed a big difference with the heat retention.

“Your team even put in extra fans to prevent condensation.

“I was also thrilled with the solar panels; I am receiving £2 a day just by selling back my extra energy.

“In large, I think I’m going to get my electricity for nothing - I can’t wait to maximise the effect of the solar panels in summer.

“The savings encouraged me to get an energy reading app on my phone.”

After telling us about the impact of the home upgrades, Geoffrey went on to talk about the team at YES who helped him through the whole process:

“The team I talked to over the phone were absolutely brilliant, truly wonderful.

“They regularly checked in with me and they were always polite.

“The team who came to do the installation were nice and professional.

“They always took their shoes off when they came inside, and they were both very friendly.

“I would recommend YES Energy Solutions without question.”
