Heatio Home Energy Show Podcast
In early 2024 I was invited to be a guest on the Heatio Home Energy Show Podcast.
The podcast is focused around helping customers save money on their energy bills as well as how to decarbonise homes across the country.

A tale of two episodes
I thoroughly enjoyed being a guest on the podcast and talking through all things renewable tech.
The podcast host, Simon Roberts and I had such a great chat that we had to split it down in to two episodes.
Once you get talking about things you’re passionate about you soon lose track of time.

In this episode I explained to Simon my whole renewable journey across 5 years. From installing Solar PV on our roof right through to a heat pump.

Episode 22: Energising Choices: Unveiling Energy Stats UK
