Welcome to 'Positive Energy - powered by The Eco Experts'. We invite experts to help you make informed decisions about investing in green technology for your home.

For episode 12 of Positive Energy we’re proud to welcome Thomas Farquhar, co-founder and CCO of Heatio.

Heatio, as summed up by Thomas, is “making clean, affordable energy accessible to everyone, by making homes smarter.” The company’s goal is to help UK homeowners improve energy efficiency by up to 60% by using the latest green technology. 

In this episode we spoke to Thomas about how the UK’s clean energy sector has evolved and what it still has to learn from Europe. Thomas also gave us an insight into why heat pumps are part of the ‘culture wars’ in the UK and the apprehensiveness people have towards installation. 

As well as heat pumps, we took a deep dive into AI and technology and how it helps to manage our energy consumption more efficiently. From creating a ‘digital twin’ to predict energy use and using smart meter data for heat loss calculations, to low-carbon tech subscriptions and the role of green mortgages, Thomas left no stone unturned when answering our questions. 

We provide tips and insights on saving energy and reducing your energy bills! Learn how to make the most of green technology and discover how these energy-saving solutions can lower costs and improve your home's comfort, all while being environmentally friendly.
