[QUOTE="HatsOff, post: 7998056, member: 158216"] Likely need to do roof insulation and put in proper doors/windows first (but if sealing up you'll need to allow for ventilation i.e. trickle vents and extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom). If the walls are 9" thick then they'll need insulation, but if it's a thick 18" wall, so long as there aren't damp, then they won't be losing much heat. From what I have seen, for old and large houses it's hard to beat biomass. Automatic pellet boiler for central heating and hot water, with log burners for space heating. But it's not cheap. [/QUOTE]
