Basic home improvements are the name of the game. Thermal insulation and a complete re-wire. Last year we saw amazing results from packing natural wool into our ceiling cavities. Not only was the sound deadening incredible but at least 10°C were retained each night. This essentially means having the heating on for less time per night and for 4 weeks less per year.
When we bought our property, we were given some sizable quotes for very basic re-wires. Luckily, I'm a qualified sparky, so by doing the first fix, we'll have saved many thousands. Once complete, it will be a huge improvement on both the 1940's originals and that we were quoted.
We have allowed for up to 12 electrical outlets per room. A heater outlet, a lighting feed and a data outlet.
Our house can be quite exposed at the top of a 610 meter high hill, this is great in summer but we also see some snow. We've learnt double glazing is a must and but luckily not overly expensive.
The windows and insulation will pay for themselves within a couple years. The electrical re-wiring; although not excessive; will simply make life so much easier and safer.
