I've had enough of living in a cold house in the winter, so I'm looking at ways to warm the place up.
Naturally, I've laid down insulation where possible, and I'm going to buy loads of draught excluders to plug a few gaps.
I have two questions relating to a couple of other ideas:
1) I have sash windows, so double glazing isn't possible. However, you can buy film which is supposed to act as double glazing. Stuff like this:

So has anyone on here used this stuff before, and if so how effective is it?
2) A dull central heating question
My central heating is a bit sluggish. I suspect the central heating pump simply isn't powerful enough. Does anyone have a secondary central heating pump and if so, do they make a BIG difference? i.e. enough to justify spending a few hundred quid having fitted
And HELL, lets make this into a thread featuring all kinds of "keeping warm" tips in the winter. I might even buy the Albion onesie if it makes one feel SNUG.
