Keep your home insulated  Get your home audited. Ask your local electric or gas supplier to perform an energy audit of your house, apartment, or office building – and then put the recommendations into practice  Insulate doorways, windows, walls and ceilings. Up to a third of household heat will escape through an uninsulated loft. Stop this energy loss by filling these gaps with newspaper, beading or sealant.  Keep up the maintenance.
