Energy Crisis Special: Warming Our Homes For Winter

With energy bills at record highs, why does the UK have such a poor track record at insulating and retrofitting our homes?
Deborah Meaden and Felicity Hannah investigate.

Average energy bills have hit record highs and are predicted to rise even further this winter. Meanwhile the government has been warned the UK is falling badly behind on targets to insulate our draughty homes. Improving the energy efficiency of our houses is a key part of reaching net zero, but it can be complicated and expensive.

Dragon's Den's Deborah Meaden and Radio 5 Live's Felicity Hannah look at what needs to happen to help us all make our homes warmer and cosier, and crucially, how much it would cost.

Plus: When does a Dragon put the central heating on? (The answer will shock you!)
