Draft Proofing Demo: 8th February 2025

YorEnergy is planning an ongoing programme of community events and drop-in sessions that residents can access to learn more about our home energy efficiency services. Our team of experts and Community Energy Champions can offer advice to help you get started and share stories about making their homes more energy efficient in York.

Following our successful community launch event on October 5th 2024, where residents signed up to free home assessments and learnt more about the service, we will be adding more events in 2025.

Draft Proofing Demo: 8th February 2025

Join us for a practical demonstration on how to identify and fix draughts in your home, making it cosier, more energy-efficient, and potentially cheaper to run. This hands-on workshop is open to everyone, regardless of your home's type or ownership. Plus, York residents on a low income may qualify for free draught-proofing services from York Energy Advice—just fill out a referral form to get started!

Learn why reducing draughts is a quick and cost-effective way to improve your home's comfort and energy efficiency.
Watch experienced installer Tim McDermott demonstrate safe and effective draught-proofing techniques.
Receive practical, bespoke advice on sealing gaps around doors, windows, and other areas.
Share your own experiences and tips for creating a warmer home.
