Check your house for heat loss (there are companies specialized in this if you don't feel expert enough) and make it my project for 2014. Lower the temperature of your thermostat at night. The ideal temperature for sleep is around 16 degrees Celsius. If it is too cold for you, do it in stages — half a degree lower each month. And sleep more comfortable and more economical.
