[QUOTE=Am Loolah;6437056]A new, new build since March this year must have double glazing from what I understand, so that will help to an extent. We don't have that (clearly not posh enough!)
You can get various different forms of heating put in, they favour heatpumps here which are pretty effective and can double up as air conditioning units - which we could have done with over the summer. Will depend where you're headed? They are just starting to get into solar heating as an option.
I know it's backtracking a bit but
A lot of the cold is dampness, NZ is quite humid, dehumidifiers make far more difference to the room temp than a gas fire. Don't know what cost they are in the UK if in the region of £100 worth bringing one.
