Please be aware of electric cabling whilst attending to this matter or organise a professional insulation person to attend.<\/li>\n<li>Most doors have a gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. This gap allows an enormous amount of heat to escape from a room and for the cold outside air to be blown into a room, especially the front door. A simple door sock or even a rolled up towel placed over this gap will help keep the heat inside a room.<\/li>\n<li>Heating a whole house is more expensive than heating just the rooms you want to use, so ensure all unused rooms are kept closed.<\/li>\n<li>Windows that are not shut tightly will let volumes of hot air escape and cold air in.
