S2 Ep7: The difference a home energy upgrade makes

180 Degrees is a podcast series that looks at the energy choices we make when it comes to transport, our homes, business and technology.

With Season 5 of the Podcast, join Journalist Sinead Ryan for practical advice on reducing your energy bills, saving money and adopting a more energy-efficient lifestyle. Sinead chats to expert guests to address some of the key questions around Ireland’s energy revolution, what renewable technologies are coming into our homes to help improve our lives and our communities and how we can prepare for a fossil free future.

In season 1, 2 and 3 we share stories from people across Ireland, working towards a cleaner energy future. We discuss energy efficiency in the home, the motivations for investing in a large energy upgrade, and how to finance it. We also discuss the switch to electric vehicles, Ireland’s charging infrastructure and how one EV owner converted to driving electric and hasn’t looked back!
