First of all replace your heating system if it is inefficient, modern systems are over 90% efficient and do not waste gas.
Nobody would argue for keeping and using a ten year old heating system, to buy a newer one is a good idea to save energy usage. Don’t think that it will be a costly deal, not at all, replacing your central heating boiler can be the best way to reduce the amount of your bills as a result of the reduction in the amount of energy required for heating your home.

A cavity-walled insulated home also appreciates in value, a welcome benefit besides the reduced heat costs.
