I have lost count how many times I’ve refilled the kitchen antibacterial spray courtesy of Ocean Saver.

Electrify My Home | energy advice Impartial home energy advice to help you confidently transition to a fully electric home

Naturally it depends on each home.

A battery helps all year, solar is season and export tariffs are trending down.

I’ve recently set up a company specifically to provide that kind of detailed analysis and advice.

…a much bigger exercise. Needs significant changes to behaviour and if you get a badly installed one, you can be cold and worse off.

So to build confidence in electrification, people should start with the easy steps. A battery being the first one.

Dan, it’s one step at a time. Folks can reduce their electricity bill with the *simple* addition of a battery. Their behaviours don’t change significantly. It just works.

Maybe they then add solar if they can, and if they are okay with people on their roof etc.

But a heat pump is…

Well anyone other than Mercedes really. We don’t want them being the only team capable of winning.

They had that *whole lap* to pit one of the two of them-Lewis probably as he was behind - and yet they didn’t despite the entire global tv audience shouting β€œput one of them!”

I think Merc would have beaten them anyway but it would have been good to see it.

First few laps were spellbinding tho

Chiesa on the bench. Arnie really doesn’t like him.

But least Rio starts.

Let’s see what happens. Agreed, we can have a ruined weekend before closing!

Givenergy here. 2x9.5kWh. Can’t fault them.

They are British owned as are Myenergi of course. Obvs the materials and components can’t be made here…..

So no rotating rear wing on the Ferrari? I’m disappointed as it was great visual drama. #F1

Overall. we used 30% less electricity than in January
We generated 40% more from our solar panels

Brilliant. Where would you start with the process of going fully electric? Did you have solar etc at your old home?

There are tests happening - here’s a great video from @bobbyllew.bsky.social β€˜s channel about one in Utrecht. The UK won’t be far behind.

The first in our new series - Latest Energy News.

The new geothermal energy plant in Cornwall generates electricity for 10,000 homes whatever the weather, plus enough lithium for 300 million phone batteries!

Oh I agree. Home second is always good. Doesn’t always work as last season showed but PSG were a very good team.

Can you believe our side of the European cup draw? Still, it’ll be a fun ride…

(If we defend like this it won’t be a long ride!).

At least we’re scoring. Another odd performance, but a win is a win (and we should win this right??). Closes GD gap to Utd too.

So of course he bangs one in via a deflection. But play Rio FFs.
