How
Do an EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment)
Hot air rises so most heat loss is through the roof - ensure that it is properly insulated.
Insert triple (or double at least) glazed windows.
Insulate your floors - ideally install underfloor heating as this is the most effective
Insulate your cavity walls - if they are solid, book shelves help!
Use thick curtains.
Insulate your tanks and pipes
Draught-proof your home by sealing any cracks, holes, gaps or chimneys with door brushes, beading, and rubber seals.
Keep your indoor and outdoor doors closed to conserve heat.
