Housewarming is your inside look at real Irish homes transforming for a greener energy future. The show is all about helping you to make your home a warmer, more energy efficient, and beautiful place to live.

We have design tips from Home of the Year winners and expert builders, advice on grants, finance and planning, and renovation stories from the likes of James Kavanagh, Fionnuala Jay, Ryan Baird, and Dermot Bannon. And we travelled across Ireland to chat with homeowners about their energy upgrades, interiors and sustainable habits.

Seasons 1-5 (under the title of '180 Degrees'), explores the energy choices we make when it comes to transport, our homes, business and technology. There is practical advice on reducing your energy bills, saving money and adopting a more energy-efficient lifestyle. We chat 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. We also discuss the switch to electric vehicles and Ireland’s charging infrastructure

    Ryan has just bought a new house by the sea in Dublin, and has big plans for the design and energy upgrade of his home. He tells Kim about his vision for a house where he can cook and entertain, but can also switch off, connect with nature, and take a break from busy training schedules.

He chats to Kim about some of the common challenges and misconceptions around getting an energy upgrade.

    Welcome back to House Warming, where Kim Buckley is getting an inside look at two Irish homes. Fionnuala Jones, or Fionnuala Jay to her online followers, is a podcaster, broadcaster and sustainability influencer. Tired of living in a series of cold and draughty apartments, she’s bought a house in Dublin and has been renovating it to create a warm, cozy, and energy efficient home .

    Meanwhile, in Cork, Niamh Kent had also been renting and looking to buy. So, when she and her husband got the chance to buy the house they had been living in, they jumped at the chance to start on their own renovation project and home energy upgrade.

    S6: Bonus Episode – How to Finance a Home Energy Upgrade
    Oct 6 2025
    We all know a home energy upgrade isn’t cheap and is one of the main barriers to homeowners carrying out retrofit work. The Home Energy Upgrade Loan Scheme has been introduced to make a home energy upgrade more accessible and affordable for homeowners. The purpose of the government backed loan is to carry out home energy upgrade works that are also grant-aided through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). You can borrow from €5,000 to €75,000 for a term of up to 10 years.

    Kim sat down with SEAI’s Roisin Mulligan and SBCI’s Orla Ní Cholmáin about how this loan helps to finance a home energy upgrade.
