What Hellio Travaux does

Hellio Travaux is the physical agency-network brand of Groupe Hellio, a France-based energy renovation specialist founded in 2008 and operating through Hellio Travaux since 2022. The company deploys 5 regional agencies (Chambray-lès-Tours, Lyon, Clichy, plus DROM-COM coverage) staffed by nearly 300 collaborators, delivering face-to-face renovation advisory, energy audits, multi-trade work coordination, and full administrative management of France's principal housing renovation subsidy programs — MaPrimeRénov' (via its Anah-granted mandataire status) and the CEE (Certificats d'Économies d'Énergie) mechanism, where it holds first independent producer standing. Revenue in 2022 reached €140M.

The core product is 'rénovation globale' — a coordinated whole-house energy renovation spanning six work areas (wall, floor, and roof insulation; window replacement; ventilation; heating/hot water), supported by accredited energy audits, RGE-certified artisan selection, eco-PTZ financing solutions, and complementary offerings including heat pumps, biomass, photovoltaic self-consumption, EV charging stations, and biomass heating. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales through the physical agency network, inside sales via phone/email, and a self-serve professional portal (pro.hellio.com) for renovation artisans, supported by SEO, YouTube, and LinkedIn presence.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) CEE certificate monetization as a regulated independent producer selling validated energy savings to obligated energy suppliers; (2) professional services for project advisory, diagnostics, and file preparation; (3) transaction fees via MaPrimeRénov' mandataire activity (including subsidy advance payments to households); and (4) professional partner services (client referrals, training, equipment catalog access) for the RGE artisan network. Customer segments are diversified across individual homeowners, renovation professionals, collectivités, copropriétés, industry, and agriculture, with a two-sided network of households and RGE artisans reinforcing ecosystem value.
