Case Study: Haxby Resident

The Challenge

This detached home in Haxby, York offers space and flexibility, but has become increasingly uncomfortable and expensive to run. Key living areas struggle to stay warm during winter, and the garden room is difficult to use year round, feeling cold in winter and overheating in summer.

Rising energy bills are a growing concern, but comfort is just as important. The homeowner wants a warmer home with lower monthly costs and a clear plan to improve energy efficiency without unnecessary disruption. Heat is being lost through walls, roofs, windows, and ventilation, meaning isolated fixes would not deliver the improvements needed.

The Solution

YorEnergy carried out a full home assessment and designed a whole-home retrofit, prioritising improvements that would deliver immediate comfort benefits while also reducing long-term energy use.

YorEnergy coordinated a package of complementary measures that addressed heat loss, ventilation, and energy generation together. The following improvements were installed:

• Roof ventilation

• Cavity wall insulation

• Flat roof insulation

• Bay window improvements with secondary glazing

• Solar PV with battery storage

The work was delivered by two YorEnergy-approved suppliers working collaboratively to ensure the best outcome for the property. One of these suppliers was Busy Energy, who successfully undertook the Solar and Battery works on the property.

By managing the process end to end, YorEnergy removed the need to source installers, compare quotes, or coordinate timelines. Each measure was selected to work alongside the others, improving overall performance and home comfort.

The Results

The improvements make an immediate difference. The home now retains heat far more effectively, creating a warmer and more consistent indoor environment. The solar PV and battery system reduces reliance on the grid, helping to lower ongoing energy costs.

James shared his experience:

“The process with YorEnergy was really helpful. The advice was fantastic and the support was really good. The house is definitely warmer and our energy bills have really reduced.”

The home is now more comfortable year round and better prepared for future energy demands.
