Don't forget about preventative measures, draught-proof your home and seal your windows to stop cold air from coming in.
Prices for draught excludes start from a fiver in most stores but a thick blanket rolled up next to a draughty door will work just as well.

Loft insulation is also very important as it can stop heat escaping, therefore slashing your heating bill.
