Insulation
- if you have a loft space, then 270mm of insulation is the recommended depth to stop heat being lost through the roof space
- insulating your hot water tank will also help keep your water hot for longer and reduce heating costs, as will insulating hot water pipes
- insulating the floor of the ground floor and any floors over unheated rooms / spaces (like the room above the garage).
This can be expensive and may need a contractor but there are some quick easy wins:
- seal the gaps around your skirting boards and floorboards to reduce draughts
- rugs and carpets make your feet feel warmer.
