Through YEP, eligible households can take advantage of several free energy-saving opportunities. The program offers professional Home Energy Score (HES) assessments, which provide a detailed evaluation of home energy efficiency along with recommendations for improvements.
Additionally, residents can receive free weatherization kits containing LED bulbs, weather-stripping, and insulation materials to improve home energy efficiency.
Valley Clean Energy’s (VCE) Electric Advisors Program is also available, offering free expert guidance on electrification rebates and energy-efficient home upgrades to VCE customers. For those needing major home energy efficiency repairs, the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation (OOHR) Program provides low-interest loans to support low- and moderate-income homeowners.
YEP services are available to households in unincorporated Yolo County who meet specific income requirements, with the exception of the Electric Advisors Program, which is open to all VCE customers. Priority for the Home Energy Score and Weatherization Programs will be given to low-income households, agricultural workers, seniors (65+), households with children, and individuals with disabilities.
YEP is made possible through partnerships with Earth Advantage, Archon Energy Solutions, and Valley Clean Energy, along with community outreach partners, De Colores Resource Center and Cool Davis.
