About Elvy

Energy subscription for a group of neighbouring homes

Yes, a group of neighbouring homeowners can get an energy subscription together. Installing several homes at once is more efficient and can lower the price.

Yes. A community association (samfällighet), a group of neighbours or an association of homeowners can get an energy subscription together. Each house gets its own system and its own price, but when Elvy installs several houses in the same area at once the work is more efficient, and that gain can go back into the price. No upfront cost for anyone, and Elvy owns and runs it all, exactly as for a single house.

The offer is for houses, and for community associations and the like. Apartments aren't possible yet. Below we go through who can join up, why it can be cheaper together, what each household gets, and how to get started.

Can a community association or a group of neighbours get an energy subscription?

Yes. Elvy offers the energy subscription for houses, and for community associations and similar groups of property owners. If you live in a residential area, a row of townhouses or a samfällighet, you can join up and sign together. Each house is treated as its own, with its own installation and its own contract.

The one thing we can't take yet is apartments. If you're an association of apartments, it isn't possible today, but register your interest and we'll get in touch if it becomes possible.

Why can the price be lower when you go in together?

Because the work is more efficient when several houses are installed at the same time in the same area. Elvy plans one coordinated job instead of many separate ones, travel time shrinks, and materials and installation are procured at greater scale. That efficiency gain can go back into the price.

We still set no list price. Each house gets its own energy analysis and its own monthly price based on how the house looks and is used. But when you're several in the same area, there's room to make it more favourable than for a single house far away.

What does each household get?

The same as any individual Elvy customer. Heat pump, solar panels and battery, installation, service and round-the-clock monitoring, all in one subscription. The equipment is the house's own, Elvy owns and runs it, and there's no upfront cost.

The price is fixed for 15 years and adjusted only with CPI. You don't share one installation, each of you has your own. What's shared is the installation, and the better price that comes from doing it together.

Does everyone in the association have to join?

No. This is per household, not one decision for the whole association at once. Those who want to join sign up individually, and whoever's house doesn't fit, or who simply doesn't want to, stays out. Nobody is pushed in because the neighbours said yes.

The more who join, the more efficient the installation, so it's worth asking around. But the contract is always between Elvy and the individual household.

How do you get started?

Register your interest, as a group or individually, and mention that you're several in the same area. Elvy looks at the houses and the area, does an energy analysis per household and plans a coordinated installation. The rest is handled as usual, you don't project-manage anything.

If you're unsure whether you're enough houses or well placed, get in touch anyway. It costs nothing to ask, and you don't commit until each of you has seen your own proposal and said yes.
