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.

Episode 21: A Homeowner Journey to Green Living

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.

Mick’s Journey into Renewable Energy
Maximising Solar Energy
The Joy of Driving an Electric Vehicle
Transitioning to Electric Heating
Making Cost-Effective Upgrades
The Benefits of Energy Efficiency and Solar Power

Episode 22: Energising Choices: Unveiling Energy Stats UK

In the second half of our chat we talked about how the Energy Stats website and Twitter feed came to be and how smart tariffs can empower homeowners to take control of their energy choices.
