The Snugg-EDF collaboration aims to support homeowners across England and Wales improve their energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions by connecting them with EDF’s network of approved installers.

With access to EDF’s installers, Snugg’s users can schedule them to fit air source heat pumps, solar PV panels, and insulation — including loft, cavity wall, and solid wall.

To request a quote from an EDF installer, users need to:

1. Build their efficiency plan on the Snugg platform to identify areas for home efficiency improvements.
2. Answer a few questions about their home to receive accurate quotes from an EDF-approved installer.
3. Schedule the installation with the chosen EDF installer.

The collaboration with EDF expands Snugg’s installer coverage and simplifies energy efficiency efforts at an important time in the UK’s journey towards Net-Zero.

Snugg’s analysis of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings in Bristol reveals that 59% of homes have an EPC rating worse than C.

By implementing energy efficiency improvements, Snugg estimates that residents in Bristol could save a total of £91 million per year, while also reducing the city’s annual carbon emissions by 250,000 tonnes.

Improving home energy efficiency is essential for the UK to reach its Net-Zero targets, and Snugg’s collaboration with EDF is a step towards helping to meet these goals.

Snugg CEO, Robin Peters, said: “We’re delighted to join forces with EDF to help our customers improve the energy efficiency of their homes more easily.

“As awareness of the need for future-proofing homes grows and the UK strives to meet its Net-Zero targets, it’s crucial that we accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral world.

“Our collaboration with EDF is a significant step forward in achieving that goal, empowering homeowners to embrace greener, more sustainable living.”

EDF’s Senior Manager of Propositions & Sales, Katharine Baker, also commented, saying: “This marks an exciting new chapter for us as we work with Snugg to bring energy efficiency measures to customers.

“Our installer network offers measures from heat pumps to solar panels enabling customers to take control of their home’s energy efficiency.”

Last week, DIGIT reported on the news that Snugg had secured a grant from the UK government’s Green Home Finance Accelerator (GHFA) programme.

The funding is set to be to used by the Scots startup to develop a “Green Home Hub” that will help finance providers better understand the needs of customers who are considering investing in home energy improvements.
