Call You & Yours: Are you investing in green tech and is it lowering your bills?
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
On today's You & Yours we're looking at green technology at home and whether it can save us money on our energy bills. Tell us: "Are you investing in green tech and is it lowering your bills?" The war in the Middle East has prompted demand for solar panels, batteries, heat pumps and electric cars to try and mitigate the increasing costs of our energy bills. But this technology can cost thousands of pounds from the outset. We'd love to hear from you if you've installed or bought any green tech and the difference it's made to what you're paying for your energy. If you have any questions about what you should consider, and whether you can get any funding or grants, we'll have an expert panel on hand for advice. You can call 03700 100 444 after 11am Or email us at youandyours@bbc.co.uk Guests: Madeleine Gabriel, Director of Sustainability at Nesta, the sustainability charity, and Ian Rippon, Chief Executive of. MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) is the UK’s quality mark for small-scale renewable energy systems. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: LYDIA THOMAS
